The Tourist.
This often-seen, highly visible group like to travel in pairs. Regardless of nationality (or weather conditions), the men tend to dress in a uniform of chinos and blue cotton long-sleeved collared shirts. Women tend to look like the men (without the chino's and often sporting baseball caps, looking confusedly at maps and harrassing Londoners for directions to Notting Hill Gate via Baker Street or whether the number 30 bus goes down Regent's Street). This tribe prefers to make flying visits of no more than two days to any one city. The speedy nature of their visits coupled with the sheer volume of sights they attempt to take in lead to their most recognisable feature: Digital Gadgets that allow the Tourist to capture all of the historical delicacies they long to remember because they'll never have full recall themselves due to aforementioned speed with which they attend these activities.
