About 12 years ago I participated in similar regional guide, though the price was perhaps a quarter of what this guide wants to charge you. I got a full, double sided page (color on one side, black and white on the other, so it would work well as a tear sheet).
I did get one corporate commission from it, but that was it. I wouldn't do it again, and I didn't pay anywhere near what this guide is charging.
If do you want to consider it, ask to see a copy of prior editions and also ask specifically where it is being distributed. If it goes to local galleries, for example, call a few of them up and ask if they've ever heard of this publication and what they think of it.
