You get the unwanted "1" because the default template rule is to copy
the text content to the output, and this rule is kicking in for the
<TOUR_COUNT> element. Either provide a specific template rule for this
element:

<xsl:template match="TOUR_COUNT"/>

or avoid applying-templates to this element, by doing:

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:apply-templates
select="AVAILABILITYFARE_REQUEST/TOURDETAILS/TOUR"/>
</xsl:template>
