Abstract
The article is an analysis of the Phoenician tourism concept in the South of the Romanian coast, respectively the parallel generation-gentrification given the changes that have taken place over the years, with different generational, political, and social imprints and last but not least with different economic imprint over time. Thus, the zonal social elements, respectively the inhabitants and investors, participated directly and indirectly in the evolution and involution of the area and that of tourism. Currently, the area enjoys a social, touristic, and economic rise, and the main factor is the influence given by the development and rebirth of zonal tourism as an effect of the Romanian Phoenician tourism concept. The present study highlights the connection between tourism, the gentrification of Olimp Resort, and the imprint of generations in the reconstruction of a current social episteme.
Highlights
This paper is an analysis of gentrification and the process of generations in the South of the Romanian coast, more precisely Olimp Resort, based on the comparative analysis between the Biographical Research on Generations written by prof. univ. dr
I set out to investigate whether and to what extent the concepts and methods used in generational biographical research are complementary and could be applied in gentrification research with the mention of the fact that between these two pieces of research there are many similarities of content and form according to which these concepts were applied on the tourism area in Olimp Resort, Mangalia municipality, respectively the South of the Romanian coast
The research conducted on the subject of gentrification and regarding the socioeconomic effect of tourism in Olimp resort was largely based on ethnographic research that studied life histories, residents' perceptions regarding the factors that led to street transformation, the way in which it was made, aesthetics, functions and the local businesses existing overtime in the blocks of flats and in the hotels of this resort, having understudy both the aesthetic, physical, functional and cultural change from the empirical perspective of a resort in the southeast of the Romanian coast and the evolution of the Romanian landscape and tourism, to what extent they have changed over the years, the factors and effects of these changes
Summary

Raluca Popescu, on the other hand, in which I identify the effects in tourism in Olimp resort considering the sociological and economic changes in the area, the similarities and the sociological framing of the southern area of the Romanian coast in the generation-gentrification relationship. I set out to investigate whether and to what extent the concepts and methods used in generational biographical research are complementary and could be applied in gentrification research with the mention of the fact that between these two pieces of research there are many similarities of content and form according to which these concepts were applied on the tourism area in Olimp Resort, Mangalia municipality, respectively the South of the Romanian coast.
