out-of-towners
Guests from elsewhere
Out-of-towners are people visiting from somewhere else, especially from outside a major city: The restaurant was packed with out-of-towners in town for the conference.
The term often carries a mild dismissiveness—locals distinguishing themselves from visitors who don't know the terrain, the customs, or where to find good food.
