What is the definition of a tourist?

This sounds like the bed tax that almost every jurisdiction in the US has.

It does not sound like the tourist tax the US applied this year on non-residents visiting national parks.

A Tanzanian friend can't get US citizenship because Tanzania doesn't allow dual citizenship and if he gives up his Tanzanian citizenship it costs him $100/night tax to visit his family and stay in their house in a national park
