The main contribution of Marco Polo to European knowledge of Asia was that he documented his travels and experiences in Asia. His book, "The Travels of Marco Polo," provided detailed accounts of the cultures, customs, and geography of the regions he visited, particularly in China and the Mongol Empire. This work greatly increased European knowledge of Asia and inspired further exploration and trade.
