I'm not sure the tourism boom is over. Addressing your specific points:
* rising unemployment - overall employment is falling, but most digital nomad jobs haven't been impacted
* remote work - this makes it easier to digital nomad (e.g. a NYC dweller that travels for the winter)
* relocation to more livable places - Suppose you relocate from SF to a more "livable" place like Tucson, not sure that'll reduce demand to go to places like Brazil, Europe
I'm typing these words in the Medellin airport. Travelling sucks now. If travelling stays this crappy, then it's likely people will move around less.
