touristed
Flooded with visitors
Touristed describes a place frequented or overrun by tourists.
A heavily touristed beach attracts crowds of vacationers.
The word often carries a faintly negative connotation—suggesting a place has lost some authenticity or charm to commercial tourism: The old quarter has become so touristed that locals avoid it.
