I really think people want to travel - the problem is where... example: Glacier National Park is half closed - mostly because an Indian reservation on the East side isn't allowing anyone in. Several of the hotels/motels in the park are closed. So if you want to visit, and go outdoors and enjoy the scenery, it's difficult. So I'm sure some people are saying "Why fly all the way there?" Also, many of the small tourist sites are closed or very limited hours. Again - why travel when there is little to see?

Multiply that times everywhere else people like to visit...

So I think the demand is there, it's just there are many restrictions to things to see.
