They can buy a one day travel card.

But now only zone 1-6? Most tourists don't travel outside zones 1 and 2,
unless they're Harry Potter fans, who need Watford.

I assume he means from outside the zones which have always been 1-6. It
depends heavily on the TOC. Worth buying from Oxford (FGW) but not from
Cambridge (FCC).

Both really.

On a day trip the the CDR+ODTC combo ticket (or the buy two tickets option
previously discussed here).

On a short visit buy a ODTC daily, it may cost more than PAYG for two or
three tube trips but it's flat rate so you know you will not be ripped off
and you can get a railcard discount.

And tourists do go to Hampton Court, Kew, Cutty Sark, Hendon, Greenwich,
Fulham Palace and even Box Hill and Heathrow.
