Similar to a convenience friend, an affection tourist is someone who circulates around friend groups, focussing on particular individuals for as long as that person gives them affection/attention.
Usually an affection tourist will latch on to those who invest in the tourists well-being and/or emotional state. It is rare for an affection tourist to invest back.
Sometimes an affection tourist will target someone new when they need something, like they break up with their partner and need some sympathy. In this situation, they will be super friendly to the target, becoming their temporary best friend until their affection needs are met and move on to the next target, usually quite suddenly.
Once the continued affection is depleted/starts to wane, or someone else offers attention, the affection tourist moves on and barely speaks to the previous person for some considerable time, not out of dislike for that person but just because they can't be bothered as that person has nothing to offer the tourist.
"Sarah? Yeah we used to hang out all the time, but she's an affection tourist. She hasn't called me in months. She spends all her time with Jane now."
"James broke up with his boyfriend last week. I hadn't heard from him in months, but suddenly he's all about hanging out with me and doing stuff. It's great but I'm not holding out much hope of it lasting because he's just an affection tourist. I'm sure he'll find someone else to be best friends with soon."
An idiot that decides, in the midst of a global pandemic, to take advantage of no crowds and cheap deals to vaca and party on.

A noob that tries an online multiplayer game after seeing it being played on streams. Unlike most new players, Twitch tourists falsely believe they are already masters of the game, even though they have no idea what the experienced players they watch are actually trying to do, and will relentlessly flame their teammates on this basis. Often they will try and fail to imitate unorthodox strategies they saw, to everyone else's amusement.
Usually found in droves after the world championship of an esports game. Most common in free-to-play games that don't require daddy's credit card to try.

A Tourist Friend is much like a traditional tourists , but they only "visit" or "vacation" to your friendship instead of actual destinations. A Tourist Friend comes and goes, but mostly goes. They are only there when they want to be and often forget to even speak to you when they aren't "visiting." These people are hipocrites and they should not be taken at their word. These friends often break such common unwritten friend laws such as "Bros before hoes" and "Chicks before dicks." Abandon these friends as they will certainly abandon you...until they come crawling back. They are not worth your time.
Johnathon is a tourists friend. He can never hangout, but says he wants to. Bails all the time, and once he got a girl, he disappeared.
Isabel got a man and now hasn't called in 3 months, despite our 20year friendship. She's such a tourist friend.
