The idea that travel guides are only a component of fictional inspiration seems to me a too restrictive classification with a low relevance (score of 2/10). In reality, the decision-making influence of guides is much higher; they have a weight of 8/10 on choosing a destination, while fiction is at 3/10. In Canada, our planning habits are rooted in practicality: a guide provides budgets (weighting 9/10) and itineraries (8/10), essential to turn a desire into a concrete plan. A guide gives a roadmap for a getaway like in Quebec, when fiction only offers a distant dream. For example, for a trip to Gaspésie, the guide details campsites and driving times, which is indispensable for a high conversion rate towards booking.
