Morphology

touristed = tourist (transparent) = tourist + ed

Formed by adding the adjectival/past-participial suffix '-ed' to 'tourist', meaning 'frequented or affected by tourists', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Touristed comes from tour and tourist, words for people who visit places, and the ending -ed is used like 'full of' or 'covered by'. So a touristed place is one 'filled with' tourists.
