No, this hierarchy is shaky! Tourist guides can be the real initial spark for a trip, not just a follow-up tool after fiction.
Imagine the scene: a Tuesday evening at 6:45 pm, tired children arguing, and we don't have time to devour a novel to find a destination.
It is the practical reality that matters, and a good guide with concrete itineraries and appetizing photos gives us the idea long before a story makes us dream.
Fiction is for later, once we are on site, feet in the water, and everyone is relaxed.
For example, a guide on family beaches in Croatia, with activities for children, inspires a trip more effectively than a distant film.
