The Contradictory Evolution of the Post-War Tourism in Romania and the Negative Impact from the Period of Transition. This study realizes a documented analysis on Romanian tourism in the post-war period. The most important social-economic and political moments that had direct effects on tourism, generally characterized by inconsistency, are brought into discussion. Therefore, the lack of the phenomenon of tourism is observed until 1948, followed by a fundamental change of property and the beginning of mass trade unionist tourism, using the old material basis of tourism taken over by the state, through nationalization. The achievements in the touristic field of Romania are then pointed out, those from the period of significant economical growth, of social-political relaxation and opening toward the West. The general regress from the ninth decade of the past century, had major repercussions after 1989, and tourism was among the most affected fields, found in the difficult transition toward the market economy and the integration in the ensemble of the European Union.
