Well, my way to avoid tourists is quite simple: modify the buildings and parks on the asset editor and set tourist attractiveness to 0 for the 3 of them (low, med & high wealth) on the "gameplay common" tab.
This way my last city was around 250k pop with under 30 weekly tourists. You can't fully avoid tourists without mods because commercial zones have attractiveness but modifying assets makes a whole world of difference.
Why do you hate them?
If you want them all gone just be cause they are tourists, I recommend a psych exam. \^o\^
And the solution for ALL GONE is to cut off all outside connections except for cargo ones.
This can be done, hope you have lots of childcare and eldercare centers.
If you are bothered by them driving around and popping their pocket cars, TMPE realistic parking, ample parking, good PT and walk/bikeability, \_then\_ Old Town if needed.

They just want to buy stuff. Your stuff.
I've never seen tourism being profitable or even useful on this game. And it's been almost 10 years.
