In its simplest definition, tourism means the practice of traveling for recreation.

Unfortunately it has now become the act in which a rich, overweight, usually English speaking monolingual with a cell phone in one hand and a hamburger in the other, who has no regard for the customs of other cultures visits another country and desecrates their traditions and holy places just so they can have pictures of their fat self standing next to some famous world monument. When they visit other countries they don't actually experience them: they stay at a 5 star hotel, shop at a Walmart, and eat at a McDonalds.

These obese people usually carry around a "phrase book and dictionary" of whatever language is spoken in the country they are visiting and mispronounce two-thirds of all the words and have absolutely no manners. They will sometimes even claim to know a country's language and history better then an actual native. This is part of the Jews plan at destroying the nationalism of every country and imposing globalization.
There is an old-fashioned version of tourism and then there is a new age version of tourism. The new age one is for spoiled faggots.

Espacially in the German bubble the word autism is used to describe behaviour which includes Annoying Screaming, bad jokes, ironic memes and music and more..

Often tourette is used as a synonym because shouting random words is also included in that behaviour.
This is absolutely not okay and further increases Stigma/discrimination of People on the autistic spectrum and people with tourette Syndrom.
An alternative to describe that behaviour would be:

Tourism = tourette + autism
or german
Tourismus = tourette + autismus

Tourism of tourism 

A new kind of specialized tourism (cf. eco-tourism, medical tourism, adventure tourism, etc.), where a traveller intentionally visits heavily touristed areas in high season, in order to observe the humorous (to the tourist of tourism at least) antics and aggravations of all the other tourists who show up at the same time for purposes of regular tourism. Also a good way to cope with your situation when this happens to you accidentally or unavoidable.
I'm not sure what to put here for Tourism of tourism. However, I took a good photo though last summer in Istanbul of two tourists taking a picture of a random cat on the street, and the cat is looking at me with this kind of expression that only a cat can make, as if to say, can you believe the things these tourists will take a picture of? So I guess it's kind of like that.

tourism teacher 

an ignorant individual who has no mind for learning and has reduced themselves to the lowest form of teaching within an already poor education system. Male tourism teachers often seem to have very feminine voices, as well as little personality and low sexual standards.
My tourism teacher sucks at life.

Wooh Girl Tourism 

That moment when a gaggle of straight (esp. drunk and or loud) women, usually bachelorettes, descend on a gay bar and create an unfortunate spectacle of themselves. Also, Whoo Girl Tourism.
I was just hanging out with my buddies playing Mario Kart when a party bus filled with a big group of drunk girls in tiaras came in drunk, loud, and belligerent. Eventually we just had to go and find a safe space away from their Wooh Girl Tourism.

Party Tourism 

Travel on the cheap.Party tourists travel whenever possible, and take great pride in exploring and experiencing areas off the beaten path with little more than a wallet and beer in hand. Immersion with the local populace is key. Breaking bread with our bretheren and then heading to the local discoteque is a classic expericence shared by many party tourists. Party Tourists abided by the 30% rule...30% of the time you must be drinking. The official beer of Party Tourism is Hite Prime
Hey Austin...Party Tourism..Tokyo..be there!

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
