Could you please tell me if any of those expressions, besides tourist, are natural in English?

"That country is very attractive tourist/touristic/touristical destination"

I came across on the internet phrase "touristic", and this "touristical" is just my thinking out loud. Likewise, speaking of these expressions, I encountered discussions on the line tourist vs touristic (according to some native speakers, the second one doesn't exist in English).

What do you think about these three?
 
Tourist destination :tick:
Touristic destination :tick: but I've never seen it used.
Touristical destination :cross: That's not a real word.
 
Only "tourist" as an adjective is natural to me.
