What do you call tourists in your hometown? In New England, they have leaf-peepers. In Wisconsin, it's berry-pickers or shackers, as in "people who rent cottages." Coastal areas have pukers, a reference to people who charter boats but then can't handle the waves. And in Big Sky, Montana, tourists are known as gapers. This is part of a complete episode.
