Can the title “Tourist” have the meaning of “Inexperienced” or any other meanings?
As a major in tourism, I’ve already acknowledged that tourists’ notoriety among the destination dwellers by taking pictures of anything,disregarding the unwritten rules… here I will not go on to discuss it.
Once I watch Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, Rio (2011), and The Tourist (1986) starring Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie, the word tourist is packed with other connotative emotion.
Is Ice Age3
“00:40:12” Also in Rio when Blue just arrived. Is
There any way to tell it’s Ice Age 3 & Buck actually talks to the Travelers?
In this context, it means somebody who is inexperienced cf. Jeg: “Aside from being a child, I don’t experience much.” A Newbie ( a common slang word for someone who new to a job or task) is a commonly used slang word for someone who is new to a job or task, which is told by my American friend.
Does tourist have an derogatory connotation of inexperienced, or any other meanings in the clip of Ice Age3? Is it a sexist term?

As a tourism to the UAE, the word tourists has a negative connotation. But so can many other relatively free terms. Children, child children were all applied out of context. (For example, “He’s such a child” would not be flattering to a grown-up.)
In the sense that you are hearing it in those clips, it simply means someone who is inexperienced, non-practiced, or new to an activity, and locale, or situation. Cf. dilettante (e.g. a cantery). It may also carry the connotation of someone who is always curious about the meaning of an experience with no will to acquire a full knowledge of this place or activity, etc.
My mom grew up in a region where the population around summer just quadrupled. Another rural area was less developed but the population doubled in the period. The word “tourist” was often used in the playfully derogatory way that you mention.
Tourists were the brunt of many inside jokes amongst the locals, like this one:
Tourist: This town is so quaint – but you must have a lot of strange folks around here, right?
Local: Oh, yes, but they’re mostly gone by Labor Day.
I hate tourists: a local, American rock band even composed a song called I Hate Tourists that humorously jabbed at the tribulations of dealing with a swolled population (crowded beaches, jammed parking lots, and a fellow with an out of state license plate who picked up a pretty hitchhiker, just before the singer had a chance to do so).
Since the influx of tourists was the lifeblood of our local economy, though, such resentment never ran very deep – we were as thankful and petulant at the same time.
I think it’s quite likely that a native might be at least thought of as a tourist if he behaves like one.
I have lost count of the number of times I’ve asked people on the left to move to the right. Even natives can forget the rule, especially if they’re chatting in a group.
Why is it called tourism for dead animals?
What do you tell strangers on Tube that you stand on their side and turn left on the escalator to allow the passengers to walk to the exit and get the train back faster?
