Egotourist 

The uber-rich or famous, who visit Africa pretending to see the wild and that they care about the environment, but only stay in 6-Star accommodation in urban areas for fear of not being featured in the newspapers.

Are you sure I'll get media attention if I stay in your hotel? Don't confuse me with an ecotourist. I'm an egotourist.

Ego-Tourist

Where globetrotters head for increasingly obscure locales, not for the experience but for the bragging rights of having been somewhere exotic and difficult while looking down on any adventures that don't involve an amusing incident with a nasty local disease / local militia / extreme weather event. Ego-tourists have way too much attachment to words like 'authentic' and 'unspoilt'

Bob is boring me stiff with his stories from the Congo. He's such an ego-tourist.

Egoterist 

Someone whose sole definition of self is based on surrounding stimuli without internal reflection. They’re not egotistical by sense of self of knowing, their basis is literally external.

You’re an egoterist, I want to get to know you but I don’t listen to talk radio.
