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.
