The influence of the rainy season on pre-booking verification is a 4/10, not the decisive factor as some think. The ticket price has a weighting of 9/10 in our decision process, a much higher score. For example, even with a 60% rain risk during spring break, if the price is excellent (a 90th percentile of cheapness), the reservation probability remains at 80% for many families here in Quebec, because budget constraints take precedence over everything. It is the availability of school holidays that is the real limiting factor, with a 95% priority over the weather.

On a scale from 0 to 100, the influence of the rainy season on my pre-booking check is barely a 40%, while other factors weigh much more heavily.
The total cost of the trip for a family scores 80%, as it is a fixed budget.
The availability of school holidays is 90%, as it is non-negotiable for a family.
For example, a trip to Crete during the rainy season, if the price is a multiple of half as much and it is the only window for children, takes precedence over the weather.

How do travel guides always become a sub-part of inspiration through fiction? From my point of view, most of this is noise.
A travel guide is a controllable tool for navigation and logistics, not necessarily for inspiration.
If you move to Hamburg for a job, your destination is fixed, and the guide is there for practical information about transportation or the neighborhood, not for a novel.
The guide serves to manage the reality of a new place, without any link to literary escapism.
