Global rural value chains relate to business activities in non-central locations all over the world. They contain almost all global agricultural production, a major part of global tourism, and minor shares of industry and other services than tourism. Their generated value is more dependent on climate and extreme weather events than what is the case with urban value chains. Concepts of disaster vulnerability and disaster resilience to rural value chains are presented and followed by a system view on global rural value according to four income groups of countries. A different meaning of disasters becomes perceivable for each income group. We come up with four cases of successful in some aspects controversial alterations of global rural value chains: palm oil value chain in ASEAN, the sixth industry in Japan, rural tourism in Asia, and winter tourism in Austria and analyze the impacts of natural disasters in case studies. The business disturbances are manifold, complex, and not entirely adverse. The value at risk in a given location widely depends on the susceptibility of people and environment to a natural disaster, the costs to repair, and possibilities to innovate. Along with economic growth, disasters accelerate transformations in rural value chains and the strive to become more global while contracting in their local extensions.

“…Therefore, there are many special tasks for analyzing the processes and features of the tourism industry, which must be taken into account for the appropriate support from the EU. These tasks include, for example, measuring the seasonality of tourism by country, determining national similarities and differences, finding common patterns in groups of countries (Ferrante et al, 2018); analyzing the consequences of climate change for the tourism industry (Barrios & Ibañez, 2015); exploring the mutual influence of air quality and tourism intensity by country, and in this context, changes in demand for certain types of tourism and tourist destinations (Robaina et al, 2020); assessing direct and indirect, positive and negative impacts of foreign investment in the tourism industry on the economy (Sokhanvar, 2019); analyzing the factors of change and sustainability of value chains in tourism (Breiling, 2020); studying the preferences of tourists in different EU countries, including different types of tourism, identifying factors influ-encing such preferences (Amaral & Serra, 2019); studying the parameters of efficiency (including environmental) of using resources in tourism, and hence compliance with the principles of sustainable development and the role of innovation (Robaina & Madaleno, 2019); exploring the role and activities of small business in rural tourism and agritourism by country (Mura & Kljucnikov, 2018); assessing the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic, including by countries, regions, types of tourism and tourist destinations (Zenker & Kock, 2020); analyzing the spatial and temporal models of tourism by country (Batista e Silva et al, 2018); analyzing the entrepreneurial risks in tourism (Weiss et al, 2018). All of these issues are important for defining the vector and objectives of the supranational policy, developing an action program for numerous EU bodies in agreement with national governments.…”

The effects of the economic recession and the COVID-19 crisis call for more active support for the tourism industry. To pursue a supranational tourism policy and create a favorable marketing environment at the national level, it is necessary to consider the objective differences between member states and their characteristics in the field of tourism. This study aims to highlight the main factors that characterize the asymmetry of the tourism industry in the EU countries, which allows ensuring the competitiveness of national tourism companies through the formation of an appropriate marketing strategy. The research methodology includes calculation of the asymmetry coefficient and cluster and classification analysis based on Eurostat data.At the first stage, 27 indicators were selected that characterize the structural proportions of the tourism industry and the intensity of tourism in the EU countries. Based on the calculation of the asymmetry coefficient, a high level of heterogeneity of the tourism industry parameters in the EU countries for each of the indicators was demonstrated. At the second stage, clustering (algorithm – k-means, metric – Euclidean distance) of the EU countries was carried out according to the selected indicators. As a result, eight clusters were obtained, which showed asymmetry in developing national tourism sectors in the EU. At the third stage, as a result of classification (method – decision trees), seven combinations of indicators were identified, which completely distinguish the resulting clusters of the EU countries. The parameters included in these combinations are, in fact, the main factors of the asymmetry in the development of the EU tourism industry.Based on the analysis of the asymmetric development of the tourism industry by country, it is possible to determine its growth points and competitiveness drivers in the EU internal market and identify marketing strategies.
