antitourist
Hates popular destinations
Antitourist describes opposition to tourism or tourists, whether as policy, attitude, or identity.
An antitourist sentiment resents the crowds, commercialization, or cultural erosion that tourism brings.
Someone who is antitourist may avoid popular destinations or travel in ways that reject typical tourist behavior: She's antitourist—only visits places no one's heard of.
