vacationist

Leisure trip person

A vacationist is a person who is on vacation or who takes vacations regularly.

The term is somewhat dated and more common in American English, where it competes with the now-preferred *vacationer*.

The beach town swells with vacationists every summer.

British English speakers would more likely use *holidaymaker* for the same concept.
