Mom and Pops may be best suited to surviving. Few if any business expenses for those that own the real property. Why the gloom and doom?
Unfortunately, from having watched seasonal tourist areas over the years, a bad year usually means lots of mom & pop businesses going under.
Problem is they still need to eat and keep the lights on at home and there usually are few other options for work in the area, so they can't go out and get a second job to make ends meet while the business weathers the dry spell.
We were already scheduled to do Alaska for 2022, so hopefully the worst is over and enough new businesses have back filled in by then but many will have lost their life savings.
