This isn't a word in English. It appears to be a combination off excursionist, which, while not a common word, would refer to someone on an excursion or tour, or extortionist, which is someone who forces someone into giving up his/her money or valuables. Maybe an excortionist is is a tour operator who forces the travelers to overpay?

The correct spelling is EXCURSIONIST meaning a person who goes on an excursion, or, according to other sources, a tourist who is visiting sights of interest. It is pronounced [ik-skur-zhuh-nist, -shuh-].
"Excursion" itself has several meanings, some related to physics or machinery, but its primary meanings are:
1. a short trip or outing to some place, usually for a special purpose and with the intention of a prompt return: a pleasure excursion; a scientific excursion.
2. a trip on a train, ship, etc., at a reduced rate: weekend excursions to mountain resorts.
3. the group of persons making such a journey: an excursion of tourists.
4. a deviation or digression: excursions into futile philosophizing.
From French excursion, derived from the Latin excursio, -onis.

You probably mean excurtionist (not excortionist) which means a tourist who is visiting sights of interest

Just looked for it in my dictionary bud and that word defies meaning, in other words, it doesn't exist.
