Learners sometimes use 'tourist' and 'traveller' as if they were exactly the same. In everyday speech they can overlap, but 'traveller' often suggests someone who takes longer or more independent trips, while 'tourist' often suggests short holidays and more typical sightseeing. Also note the spelling: British English uses 'traveller' and American English uses 'traveler'.
