Does anyone know what the market is like for travel memoir?

I wrote a travel memoir with the encouragement of my publisher and lots of input from my editor, but it was then turned down at the acquisitions meeting.

I have since pitched it elsewhere and am getting no interest so far (not that widely, only two more publishers, but I'm trying not to burn all my bridges at once.)

But is travel memoir really tough now? Cost of living, pandemic etc....? I was told if I wrote another crime novel they might be more interested but this one wasn't commercial enough for them. It was strange as they were so keen two years ago and I was wondering if the market for travel writing has plummeted since then..... (possibly trying to make myself feel better.)
