Tourism is the industry most affected by the pandemic. However, one form of tourism most successfully "swam" in the flood that hit the tourism industry. It is rural tourism. In this paper, the aim is to assess the capacity and occupancy of rural tourism in EU countries and selected candidates. In order to assess the set goal, the evaluation of tourism in rural areas is analyzed through indicators such as: (1) number of facilities, bedrooms and beds in tourist accommodation, (2) nights in rural tourist accommodation (absolute number) and (3) nights in rural tourist accommodation (relative number). Special emphasis is placed on the time period before the pandemic and the time period after the pandemic. The results show a slight reaching of the level from 2019.References
