Similar to a convenience friend, an affection tourist is someone who circulates around friend groups, focussing on particular individuals for as long as that person gives them affection/attention.
Usually an affection tourist will latch on to those who invest in the tourists well-being and/or emotional state. It is rare for an affection tourist to invest back.
Sometimes an affection tourist will target someone new when they need something, like they break up with their partner and need some sympathy. In this situation, they will be super friendly to the target, becoming their temporary best friend until their affection needs are met and move on to the next target, usually quite suddenly.
Once the continued affection is depleted/starts to wane, or someone else offers attention, the affection tourist moves on and barely speaks to the previous person for some considerable time, not out of dislike for that person but just because they can't be bothered as that person has nothing to offer the tourist.

"Sarah? Yeah we used to hang out all the time, but she's an affection tourist. She hasn't called me in months. She spends all her time with Jane now."
"James broke up with his boyfriend last week. I hadn't heard from him in months, but suddenly he's all about hanging out with me and doing stuff. It's great but I'm not holding out much hope of it lasting because he's just an affection tourist. I'm sure he'll find someone else to be best friends with soon."

Get the Poo Touristmug. A group of disgusting and uneducated travelers who want to wreck havoc within nations outside of China. Many Chinese tourists piss and shit on the streets, on monuments, in subways, on airplanes, and in malls, fart in public in front of people's faces, spit on the streets, give the Nazi salute in Berlin, Germany to violate its laws, create graffiti on certain structures to inform people that the Chinese are superior to everyone, cut in line in front of people within stores, force people to engage in a relationship with money, and being very loud and immoral to others. Those barbarians are the worst tourists by worldwide standards, are one of the worst people to socialize with, and many people worldwide desire to ban them from entering into their nations to explore ever again.
It goes to show that Chinese tourists earning more financial stability is still isn't enough when it comes to behaving outside of their nation, thanks to their schools being shut down and intelligent teachers being tormented to death or re-educated by the Red Army under Mao Tse-tung during the Cultural Revolution of the 1960s.

Get the Covid touristmug. 
A person who gets romantically involved with someone else, but right from the start has no intention of staying around, despite all appearances to the contrary.
When Jake proposed, George was more than happy to say yes. As a love-tourist, George wanted to try out the full range of experiences that Jake offered - despite knowing that he'd be off on his next love-holiday in a week.

Get the love-touristmug. One of the most recent ones is the area 51 event that will likely trap quite a few people into a possible feud with local police in a small Nevada town. Some are hoping to make money off the people that would otherwise end up in a feud over trying to get in area 51.
Guy inviting people to area 51- These idiots deserve to end up in jail or worse if they're dumb enough to go to this town of Rachel, Nevada. Hahahahahahaha, the dumbasses, I can't wait to play them with the tourist trap.
