Tourarism

Share definition
The small acts of terrorism committed against the local population when one is on tour or vacation.

Top perpetrators and their respective Tourarism hotspots:

Australians in Bali.
The British in Spain.
Americans on the Planet.
Eyewitness reports say that an obese American man stormed into the chemist at approximately 2pm and loudly repeated his demand for blueberry muffins. When his demands were not met he began screaming at other customers that his 'blood-sugar was down'. He then stole a bag of Jelly beans and left the premises. This is the third act of American Tourarism in the same chemist in a fortnight.
