@jespah,
Thankyou - I had the corresponding down answer wrong. Now just need the other one. Am not very good at cryptics.

@tuisemmens,
Oh, thanks for the red ribbon.

Cryptics have a few established types of clues. One is a sound-alike clue, which is what the tourists/two wrists one was. It was a combo of a definition plus a homophone.
