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.

Get the Tourist mug.Someone (usually) new to a fandom who tries to change the medium to meet their personal criteria, or shames existing members for liking established parts of that medium; especially before they've taken the time to properly understand the existing culture and assimilate into it.
A: "Dude, I LOVE superhero movies and have seen several, but they're way too violent. It sets a bad example for kids, and if you support that you're disgusting. I'm tweeting at all the publishers right now so they know that REAL fans won't stand for it anymore."
B: "Fucking tourist."

Get the Tourist mug.A person (usually white) who learns languages for fun rather than by necessity and berates immigrants who learn languages because they need to. Despite the fact that language tourists have a very shallow grasp on the languages they visit, they tend to dismiss the immigrants who actually need to learn complex grammar and vocabulary in a colonial environment instead of learning two sentences for entertainment.
this girl told my immigrant friend that he should improve his french, she thinks it's easy because she's a butcherer of 5 languages, what a fucking language tourist .

Get the language tourist mug.War Tourist: A war tourist is typically a middle-aged, middle- or upper-class male from the West a individual who, in a modern-day midlife crisis, seeks excitement beyond ordinary holiday experiences. They venture into conflict zones and war-torn countries for the thrill and unique experiences, often relishing the danger. Sometimes, they even attempt to join local military efforts. This new form of tourism can lead to significant consequences, including legal repercussions, accusations of terrorism, and the risk of being kidnapped, tortured, or even dying. They may return home with souvenirs such as bullets, shrapnel, or even human remains. War tourists prefer these intense experiences over typical holidays and often proudly share their stories and souvenirs.
