Because of the Coronavirus, there are certain industries and services, which I don't see coming back anytime in the next seven months.
1. Significant or upper-class hotels. For most part, I'd say virtually all hotels are going to be shut-down for the next hundred-odd days. But you need international travelers and the German elite to carry the 5-star hotels around Germany, and I just don't see that coming back in 2020.
2. Amusement parks. Around Germany, there must be around twenty of these parks, and I think the 'foot-traffic' will be sparse for the remainder of the year.
3. Theaters and kinos. People will be in fear of the virus and hanging out at some kino to watch marginal love-movie made in Iceland, or three half-wit Bavarian guys solving a murder.....just won't be enough to convince you to sit in a place with forty people coughing.
4. Brothels. Can you imagine the local health establishments going and approving these to re-open....with the virus still active? On the other hand, can you imagine almost half-a-million German men who've now gone an entire month without a visit to their local brothel, and looking at the situation that it not open again for the rest of 2020?
5. Massage therapists. This service activity has come on big in the past twenty years and in a town like Wiesbaden.....there must be at least twenty shops around. This is another one that I'd see as hard-hit.
