What is certain is that the window to capture attention is short. Travel guides are indeed powerful catalysts, often underestimated in their capacity to trigger the desire to travel. Moreover, new editions with sections focused on immersive experiences and traveler stories are directly capitalizing on this aspect. Action must be taken now to integrate this approach before it becomes commonplace.

Their most strong version claims that travel inspiration mainly comes from fiction, with guides being just logistical tools. However, this reading does not always reflect the lived reality for many. A tourist guide is not just a manual for validation after inspiration but can itself trigger the desire. Many, flipping through a Routard or a Lonely Planet, discover unexpected destinations or cultural aspects that create the impulse to travel. For example, I know colleagues who decided to visit Tasmania after seeing photos or descriptions of hikes in a thematic guide, long before a film pushed them there. The rigid distinction between "initial impulse" and "validation" is often too simplistic, as inspiration can quite naturally arise from reading a guide.
