I always find it funy how universally hated they are here, we have a word - guiri - which can mean any foreigner but most people use it specifically as a derogatory work for «British Tourist»
My research collaboration is based out of Spain. My boss is British. After traveling to Spain with him, the word guiri is now my favorite and how I refer to him when he is being overly British.
I don't think it's used as a derogatory word, I use it when I want to say multiple nationalities at once. It's faster than any alternative
It's two words, but we call them "bloody tourists" in Australia.
We called ourselves that when on our recent outback adventure.
