It is very important as he brought the print culture from the east to the west. from china to Italy and then the whole of Europe.
Not only is it important because he provided people at that time (and even to today) with verbal snapshots of the cultures, people, and beliefs that he encountered, but he also inspired explorers like Christopher Columbus, and even influenced the advent of true cartography (mapmaking). Maps were largely allegorical until the medieval period (they would show a list of cities, but you couldn't tell from the map whether they were an hour's journey apart or a week). AFter Marco Polo's journeys became published and widely read, maps began to take on more realistic proportions. - Jer the Bear
