Even that's not as simple, though: if hotels all failed, they would be replaced by something else (maybe AirBnBs, maybe other things, probably a mix) that would generate economic activity and tax revenues.

Certainly adding up to less than what's lost in hospitality taxes, but it does counteract the loss to an extent.

It doesn't counteract the loss, because the hotel already generated economic activity and tax revenue and then hospital taxes on top of that.
