Are there any gods related to tourism in Greek mythology? Who are they?

Hermes

Hermes, the daughter of Zeus and Atlas and the son of Maya, wears a gown and shawl, a hat (sometimes a helmet with wings), flying shoes and a short stick wrapped with snakes, which can make people fall asleep or wake up from their dreams.

He is the god of animal husbandry, the god of travelers, the god of theft, the god of trade, invented the lyre, drilled wood for fire and so on.

In Homer's Poems, he is described as "a changeable, smooth and clever thief, who brings people dreams, a watchman at night, a thief outside the door, and the first person among immortal gods to show goodwill." Because he walked like a fly, he became the messenger of Zeus and the gods on Olympus, sending messages to the gods and completing various tasks entrusted to him by Zeus.
