Art/Literary - Idioms / Maxims / Sayings | | Italian term or phrase: esperti ruralisti | From the description of an exhibition focusing on the various different groups of people who live, work or visit Venice.
Any ideas appreciated.
Altre popolazioni sono individuabili seguendo il filo dei racconti e dei volti.
[...]
La quarta popolazione è una popolazione di “esperti ruralisti”, di routards che si muove su piste specializzate strutturate da luoghi per dormire, mangiare, acquistare e divertirsi spesso appartenenti ad un medesimo stile di consumo rintracciabile in zone diverse.
Quest’ultima popolazione, in espansione numerica, si distingue dai consumatori lagunari prediligendo l’accesso a beni e servizi maggiormente qualificati e per essere fidelizzabile al territorio, sino a prendere residenza secondaria o in ogni modo a diventarne utilizzatore frequente. |

| | professional tourists | Explanation:
I don't think "ruralist" is a very well-known term in English, so it would be better to just try something else that captures the meaning. I like "professional tourists" because connotes the efficiency and expertise implied in the source text in a way immediately recognizable to English speakers, and it also maintains the humorous or slightly critical sense of the source term. |
