Thomas Cook closure- Expert inputs anyone

Hi, Thomas Cook folded up yesterday and there are many theories behind their closure. High debt, lower demand due to staycations in Europe, increased competition etc. Can someone share their inputs on this? Are older businesses like Thomas Cook doomed or can they do something like Business Model Innovation to survive? Cheers.
