A holidaymaker is a person who has gone somewhere for a holiday — to rest, swim, see sights, eat ice cream — not to live there and not to work. It is a very British word. American English prefers , or just tourist. Tourist is wider: a tourist might be in town for one afternoon. A holidaymaker is more “I am here on holiday.” You see it in British newspapers, especially in summer, when towns talk about holidaymakers crowding the beach or filling the hotels. It is ordinary, not grand. The maker piece does not mean the person makes holidays for other people, like a factory. It is just the old English way of naming “the person who does this,” the same shape as , but here it means the person on holiday.
度假客（英式；台灣比較常說觀光客、遊客）
