Honestly, I am allergic to the idea that paper tourist guides are still an essential component of travel inspiration.
It's not the glossy marketing that matters, but what concretely changes tomorrow for the traveler.
Their role has become highly conditional, decreasing to zero as soon as an internet connection is available, which is almost always the case today with our smartphones.
Here, in the Netherlands, no one consults a guide to find a restaurant when Google Maps is at hand, unless perhaps the battery is dead.
