It's a superzoom, regular tourism is exactly the use case for these things (and, by the look of it, something this lens does really well at!) When I'm shooting wildlife, I'll almost always use my 100-400, maybe with a 1.4x teleconverter for even more range if I need it and the light allows it. For walkabout purposes, or indoors, I'll use either my normal zoom (24-70 f/2.8) or my wide angle (16-35 f/2.8). All of those lenses will almost certainly significantly outperform this lens at their respective niches, so you only use a lens like this if you expect to take photos of a wide variety of subjects in a wide variety of conditions, but can't/don't want to carry three (or more) lenses around with you. That pretty much describes tourists to a tee.
