Eager to tour a country (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hungary

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

'country' is the definition.
(Hungary is an example)

'eager to tour a' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'a' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'hungry' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hungary that I've seen before include "Country bordered by Slovakia, Ukraine, Romania, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia and Austria" , "part of Europe" , "vizsla from here?" , "One member of NATO" , "country in Europe" .)
