touristing

The process or methodology by which an equity researcher or analyst in Manhattan very superficially (if at all) reviews or covers one or more companies and provides definitive advice to chief investment officers who then act on such advice to invest billions of dollars that then are lost.
Right before the latest economic downturn, the research team had been engaging in touristing to speed up their work so that they could make it in time to happy hour at the Rooftop in the Kimberly.

Hope Tourist

Some one who travels to Bangkok with expectations and desire for things to happen, definitely not for the sex.
How about if we had more hope tourists than sex tourists?

Plasma Tourist

One who visits multiple plasma donation companies in their area for the purpose of the highest financial payout, rather than stay at the same company for low pay but convenience. Example includes taking advantage of new donor bonuses, then leaving when it ends and waiting for an email to come back for the promise of a higher payout. Some donors will leave (typically six months) to be considered a new donor again - which is not the policy for every company, some will only offer a returning donor bonus. Never assume one will be labelled a new donor.

The opportunity/motive to be a plasma tourist depends on availability of companies in their area, the distance to and from the center, the local supply/demand, the poverty and cost of living conditions of the area, and if the donor is in need of finances sooner than later. Once a donor breaks their ghosting streak by donating, without a bonus, the company typically has no incentive to offer one. It's reasonable to assume plasma companies keep track of how often a donor visits, the pay they receive, and adjust bonuses in their system.

Depending on location/company: Plasma companies will gradually increase their bonus offer every 1-2 months. Ranging from $15-$60 per session, or even $25-200 extra per month. Some will offer a monthly total, while others may offer a single session. If the location is convenient, the donor may accept the base + bonus and decide to donate once or twice more to stay within their minimum acceptable pay.
A plasma tourist involves being enrolled at multiple companies and delaying their visits for the highest pay because their time and health is more valuable than quick cash.

Tourist dad

If i had to put it bluntly, I would refer to this man as 'gallant', the impact this man has on the prospect of society to become a better place with this man in it is, how I would put optimistic to say the least. He can be portrayed as inquisitive, yet emotional. The impact this man has on my life is in fact how I would refer to as a memorable roller coaster of happiness and give's me the power and pleasure to strive to be him. I mean he literally put's his son on a leash, doesn't get much better than that.
Think of tourist dad like an ocean.
