11. US National and state parks with campgrounds are packed.

Hotels ... not so much. Even as far as national parks - you'll find visitors to some of the lesser well known areas of the major parks - or lesser visited parks previously, are gaining share.

Even with typical vacations there's a shift in the works. For instance Myrtle Beach proper is doing fine, but it is possible to find a room - normally that's mighty difficult. On the flip side, beachfront area north and south of Myrtle Beach, mostly residential, have the VRBO / AirBnB listings booked out all summer.

The pandemic changed people's priorities regarding what they are willing to put up with in order to travel. It isn't just the disease risk, it is also the hassle level.

Branson area is particularly geared to big tour buses and crowds. I believe you'll find people generally have less tolerance for that as a "vacation" and it will shift to less crowded pursuits.
