It's not like it was a thriving industry this accident stopped. More like everyone else had given up on airships already, but Luftschiffbau Zeppelin kept operating Graf Zeppelin and Hindenburg. This accident was the final straw. They did build Graf Zeppelin II, which was pretty much a sister ship to Hindenburg, but it was never used for passengers because they couldn't get helium from USA, and was scrapped in 1940 along with the first Graf Zeppelin.

Tbf it was a flawed industry. It was something you took if you wanted to outrun an ocean liner. Every ounce of your luggage was scrutinized for the sake of lift. A windy couple of days could make or ruin a flight. Cost would make most first/business class Comercial purchasers blush. These days people going from place to place have a higher price on their time than the experience. Part of the reason why they stopped investing in high quality food on planes. If people wanna pay a ridiculous amount to ride one, sure, but I don't think there is a ridiculous amount of people to pay it to make the method financially viable for any company.

Hindenberg disaster or not, the airship would've still been a colossal failure. The "luxury" to be found on board was incredibly basic, on account of everything having to be so lightweight. This was especially prevalent in the sleeping cabins, which offered little privacy due to the walls needing to be paper thin.
The airship was less comfortable than any ocean liner, and slower than the jets that would debut in the following decades, and - as Hindenberg plainly demonstrated - much more dangerous than them both.

I think with the loss of R101, Britiain stepped away from rigid airships. With the loss of Akron and Macon, the US stepped away from rigid airships. The Germans were the last to stop after an accident. Although aeroplanes were equally as dangerous back then too, however they were far smaller and far quicker to build and test, also when things went wrong with aeroplanes it wasnt as noticable so in a way, it was more, in my oppinion at least a fact of costs to develop and events happening in the public gaze that finnished them off.

I mean, air ships werenât really going to âtake offâ much more. They were slower than planes and you still didnât get as much space as an ocean liner. And they were expensive but still only held a relatively few people. So they were only for the rich. This disaster didnât cause the end of the industry, the industry was never gonna last.

Now you might be saying "Why didn't they use Helium?" Because the Hindenburg was German. The Helium Act of 1925 forbade the export of Helium to anywhere outside the US. And because had near complete monopoly on Helium (Even to this day) this forced airships to use the more common but very flammable hydrogen.
