  1. He's a native.


  2. The salesman is a visitor. If the woman in question were a native, she would have said that she was a visitor. If she were a visitor she would have said that she was a visitor too.  Therefore, by conveying the only possible response, the salesman proves that he is also a visitor.

  3. The salesman is a visitor. He specified 'she' when he replied, and would have been unable to correctly indicate gender if he were lying.

  4. the salesman is visitor,

    the woman is visitor

    and...

    the man is natives...
