Let me build the case with which I wish to disagree: it is quite plausible that fiction can ignite the spark of travel, and once this spark is lit, guides become practical tools to realize this desire.
However, this hierarchy is neither stable nor universal; the intervention of tourist guides is far from being an automatic consequence of inspiration from fiction.
Their usefulness depends on the nature of the inspiration and the habits of the traveler.
For example, a film where the location is clearly fictional will not encourage seeking a guide, just as an adventurous traveler might ignore detailed planning.
The importance of the guide will always depend on the individual approach and not on an automatic subordinate relationship.
