Hi! Help me pls. Is “a touristic place” used by native English speakers? I heard that it isn’t spread and it’s better to say “a tourist place”, is it right?

There are two types of places for tourists: attractions and traps.

'Tourist' or 'touristy' are more used. 'Tourist' is neutral. e.g. a tourist attraction, a tourist resort. 'Touristy' is a bit more negative. It implies too many tourists or too focussed on tourism. e.g. I prefer to visit less touristy places.

"Touristic" is a word, but is rarely used. The same with "a tourist place." Usually, English speakers would say "a touristy place", in North America anyway.

I would never say "a touristic place." "Touristic" is a real word, the adjectival form of "tourist," and "touristically" is the adverbial form, but they are very rarely used. If it's really a good place, I would call it "a tourist attraction." If it is a heavily advertised place that isn't very good, I would call it "a tourist trap." In the United States, Yellowstone National Park is a tourist attraction and it is really wonderful. Four Corners Monument is a tourist trap. It is a location in the United States where four square-cornered states--Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah--meet. There is a concrete plaza and a metal plaque with the exact location marked. As far as I know, there is only one thing to do there. You can get down on all fours. You can put one arm in Utah, one in Colorado, one leg in New Mexico, and one in Arizona. Then you can have someone take a picture, so you can say "Look! Here I am in four states at the same time!"
