The second one is correct:
À qui les touristes parlent-ils ?
The second is fine with a comma :
À qui parlent-ils, les touristes ?
There is a third, simpler option:
À qui parlent les touristes ?

The fourth one is frequent but informal: Ils parlent à qui, les touristes? Commented Jan 15, 2019 at 22:02

2@NinoFiliu Indeed, also C'est à qui qu'il parlent, les touristes ? and even C'est à qui que les touristes y'parlent... It's good for a French language learner to be aware of these forms but they are to be used carefully in homeworks ;-)– jlliagreCommented Jan 15, 2019 at 22:25

Is there anyone of these which are applicable only while speaking i.e with intonation? Commented Jan 16, 2019 at 6:24

The three ones in comments are informal / colloquial spoken French only but the fact à qui is used still makes clear all of them are interrogatives.– jlliagreCommented Jan 16, 2019 at 6:56
