It's a day to show respect to the ancestors of your family by visiting and cleaning their grave site, and leaving offerings to their spirits.
As a tourist you won't see any impact unless you are visiting a place with a lot of cemeteries. That isn't as unlikely as it sounds though as they tend to be placed in hillside countryside locations which you may visit for the view for example.
I have a more detailed page about the festival here:
