For me, the idea that fiction is the main source of travel inspiration is overrated with a score of impact of 3/10 for the final decision.
Tourist guides, on the other hand, have an action score of 8/10 because they turn desire into concrete planning.
A guide like Lonely Planet does not just dream; it provides estimated budgets and itineraries that increase the traveler's confidence to 70% to take action.
Without these practical data, fictional inspiration remains a weak signal, rarely enough to reach a 50% action threshold.
