How it's used

While 旅客 is a standard term for travellers or tourists, it carries a slightly formal or administrative tone often heard in public announcements or news reports. In casual daily conversation, people are more likely to use 遊客 when referring to tourists visiting a city for leisure. Using 旅客 in a friendly chat might sound like you are reading from a flight safety manual or a station broadcast.
