I hear the concern about the relevance of traditional guides, and it's a understandable feeling given the digital age.
However, for many of my clients organizing family events or getaways, the initial destination decision is rarely guided by a book.
It depends more on practical factors like available dates, capacity for all guests, and the overall budget — for example, a family looking for a villa with a pool for the summer will prioritize these criteria well before opening a guide.
Guides become useful for on-site details, but not the main trigger for travel choice.
