When do I use les and when do I use ces?

I have a concrete example:

Il raconte beaucoup d'histoires aux tourists.

This history is interesting.

Tourists love it .

Couldn't one also write …ces adorent here?

Translated, both mean: this

I'm getting confused about the meanings…

Thank you

Les touristes= the tourists

=> read= Article in plural

Les touristes les adorent= the tourists love them

=> the second “read” is an object pronoun in the plural

ces tourist= these tourists

=> ces= demonstrative pronouns

ces tourist les adorent= these tourists love them.

Il raconte beaucoup d’histoires aux tourist.

Ces histoires sont intéressantes. These Stories… Demonstrative companion

Les touristeslegadorent. … like they Very. Personal pronouns . direct object

1 “ces” doesn’t fit here at all.

Ces pulls ne me plaisent pas. Je ne les achète donc pas.

I don’t like it. So I don’t buy them.
