Report refers to locations that tourists visit (5)

I believe the answer is:

sites

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

'locations that tourists visit' is the definition.
'sites' can be an answer for 'locations' (site is a kind of location). I'm not certain of the remainder of the definition.

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sites that I've seen before include "internet locations" , "Spots" , "places" , "Locates" , "Is set among building locations" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
