I don't think this is all bad honestly. How many business travelers are unhappy their travel time is reduced? Not many...How many companies are saving a lot of money due to virtual meetings now? To a large extent, this move has been in the works for awhile Covid just gave it a huge kick in the butt.
Trends change, I'm not feeling bad for the airlines or hotels. Ultimately, if people have more time due to working less and traveling less for work they'll put that time into leisure travel.

With all due respect, that’s one heck of an assumption. Salespeople and marketing/manufacturers reps are extroverted people that like to entertain clients and travel.
Sure, maybe not every single day of the week as work/life/family all have a balance but I know several salespeople in various industries that are beyond excited to resume pre Covid-19 travel.

Another assumption. And what if they don’t? RV and camping could be the new norm but that would decimate airlines and hotels.

I flew 55 times in 2019 on Southwest. This year, I've only flown 20 times. I'm finally able to start flying again more frequently to see clients and employees. I'm on the fence though...sure not traveling 3-4 times a month has been nice on one hand, but on the other I feel like I'm missing out on connections with people I used to make pretty regularly.
And it feels like I could gain a leg up on my competition if I had been flying like usual this whole time.
