Grillo, to keep this moving I would say if you agree with either of us or pass, then point to that. Otherwise let's discuss.

I would argue that the more common word for the other clues would be 'punch' I think there needs to be a reason for 'hit'

"Hits the spot" isn't an idiom I hear too often, but I agree that it seems like a better option than the two synonyms-for-hit in pound/cross.

MOSCOW and BEIJING are popular tourist destinations.
Tourists visit National or State PARKs (like MAMMOTH Cave).
Tourists might visit a COURTyard, or Hampton COURT.
Tourists visit religious relics, like a fragment of the CROSS.
You might go on a LEPRECHAUN tour in Ireland.
POLICE try to keep tourists safe.

Beijing and Moscow seem certain.

My favourite possibilities for the final word:
Leprechaun - this bit of Irish culture seems to be exploited ruthlessly for all the tourism it can generate smile
Park - tourists might visit them, I guess
Mammoth - might be a tourist attraction at a natural history museum

We definitely need to guess our third word here, given the game state. Time for a bit of theory-crafting.
I suspect the plan was Tourism 4, as Spot goes quite well with it. If so, our largest clue was going to be last. This suggests that the answers are a fairly strong match: otherwise, clue it earlier and we have some spare guesses to catch up. It's also possible that there's a blocking word that WK was hoping red would remove first (or one of our answers unblocks an easy clue for red, I guess).

Hmm, not sure that really helps much. Anyway, I'm looking most favourably on Leprechaun for the third.

Reading DaveV's spoiler:
Some good thoughts there. I hadn't considered National Parks... and I seem to recall they generate tourism in Civ 6. Given where we're playing, I think that makes Park my strong preference for the third word.
