Tourist showing sense — wise man (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sightseer

'tourist' is the definition.
(sightseer is a kind of tourist)

'sense wise man' is the wordplay.
'sense' becomes 'sight' (sighting is a kind of sensing).
'wise man' becomes 'seer' (I've seen this in other clues).
'sight'+'seer'='SIGHTSEER'

'showing' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for sightseer that I've seen before include "Visitor to famous locations" , "Tourist visiting scenes of interest" , "Tripper" , "Rubberneck" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
