Ok noggers, together you’ve solved the problems.

I imagine the writer of that sign is addressing more than one tourist, hence “tourists”; no apostrophe here because it is a plural form.

And of course – welcome – another commonly misspelled word; only one ‘L’. Unless you want to say, “Well, come in and have a drink”.

Hello again.
Firstly, the writer probably need more than only one tourist. Means at least two of them to cup afloat. So, she / he should have written tourist´s.
Secondly, the spelling error is the double “LL”, because “welcome” don´t need so match colour.
Hope, that Sandro will confirm it and don´t reveals further mistakes 😉
