I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'for tourist' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'big punch around lido mixed' is the wordplay.
'big punch' becomes 'haymaker' (haymaker is a kind of punch. I am not sure about the 'big' bit.).
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'mixed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'lido' with letters rearranged gives 'olid'.
'haymaker' going around 'olid' is 'HOLIDAYMAKER'.
