Aren't you only a tourist when you're in the clueless phase? Maybe it's just the difference between being anywhere for a few days or weeks compared to when you start to build relationships. Like, are you still a "tourist" after you've visited multiple times?

Anyway, the bigger issue is about capital imo, another way of saying that relatively poor people can probably travel without being "tourists" in the worst senses of the term. How much can you possibly be "displacing" the locals if you don't have considerably more power than they do?
