The Guardian doesn't think this is the end:
Really don't see how it would be the end for LP. In a year, more likely 2 years or more when there is a vaccin and most countries have had their vaccination programs and lifted their measures things will return to 'normal'. Obviously, things will have changed as it always does, but people will travel and, though hard to predict how fast, that recovery might go a lot faster than some expect. I mean even now authorities have issues preventing people (admittedly small minority) to travel. I'm certainly looking 'beyond' this to see what is possible and considering what to prioritize to see before overcrowded destinations return to their 'natural' over tourism status.
In the mean time LP can cut down on costs enormously, almost go into hibernation if needed, and by the time things recover old guides will be sold, creating income for upscaling the new research needed to update the guide books. Though it will be tough, certainly for the workers losing their jobs, LP as a business shouldn't have too much trouble emerging at the other end alive and kicking provided they have decent management.
