Natives Lie and Visitors Speak Truth

Came across this puzzle in one of the sites.
In an Island the natives lie and visitors speak truth. A man wants to know
whether a salesman beside him in a bar is a native or visitor. He asked him to ask a woman
beside him whether she is a native or visitor. He replied “she says she is a
visitor”. Then he knew that the salesman is a native or visitor. salesman is in which
category , native or visitor?"
