Do you think the book three men in a boat is a travel guide? give reasons

Three Men in a Boat was written as a comic travelogue and published as a serial. The author used his honeymoon trip in writing the novel. For additional information, check out the link below.

Note, although the novel was intended as a travel guide, I do not personally view it in that way. I certainly wouldn't consider it when planning a vacation. For me, it's simply an amusing story.
