day-trippers

No overnight guests

Day-trippers are people who visit a place and return home the same day, rather than staying overnight.

The term often carries a slightly dismissive tone when used by locals or serious tourists to describe casual visitors who crowd popular destinations without fully immersing themselves in them.

The beach was packed with day-trippers from the city.

The Beatles song "Day Tripper" gave the word additional connotations of someone who dabbles superficially.
