<p>Everyone now knows the plight of the Greece. After the cuts and protests, now the country is trying alternatives that they wink at the world of luxury. Hence the decision to rent Acropolis and other archaeological sites Greek symbol for advertising or as a location for events related to wealthy investors with a lump sum of 1,600 euros a day. Openness that has made a great scandal at the archaeologists, but that could lead to the State Greek funds to invest in the care and protection of the same sites.<span id="more-5187"></span></p>
<p>For Greece is an important stepped because until now very few elected officials had the authority to use the ruins of the ancient world as a location?</p>
<p>Over the years the archaeological resources of the Fund has given the OK to shoot a few videos and photographs, especially in the field of cinema as director Greek-Canadian Nia Vardalos or the American Francis Ford Coppola that they could use some footage for the Acropolis.</p>
<p>However, you can now rent the Acropolis and other sites of the most famous in the world at a cost of about 1,600 euros per day, although requests will be placed under review by the Bank of archaeological resources that will ensure their proper use.</p>
<p>For the country it is a solution to economic crisis, but certainly not the only owner to sell some pieces of its history the important, they point to the Greek newspapers, is that national treasures are not sold out and ruined.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.healthspablog.org">Health Spa Blog</a></p><p>One of the most important questions plaguing the health spa industry today is the debate over whether the recession will affect business.  The recession has infiltrated nearly every industry and while the economy has slowly received its footing and is continuing an uphill battle, the question remains as to whether people will be more cautious with their extravagant spending habits, including spa purchases.  As was indicated only days after the bailout, many executives at AIG still believed that an expensive spa trip was in order even while their business was floundering, indicating that many who are used to this lifestyle will continue to be avid customers of such industries.</p>
<p>Many health spas have seen declining customer numbers solely do to the fact that it has become a major faux pas to spend such amounts of money on a luxury purchase when the economy is teetering over the edge.  While many people around the country still have extra money to spend, they recognize the state the economy is in and have chose to become more conservative in their spending.  While this seemed like a good idea at the time, it is important to remember that putting more money into the economy is what will revitalize it.  However, according to many studies, Americans are suffering from “luxury shame” and therefore have become much more conscious about their spending, even becoming thrifty in their luxury purchases.</p>
<p>The spa industry, as a result, has begun to stress the “holistic” attributes of spa treatments, hoping to reach out to this new era of eco-friendly clients who look for alternate medicinal routes.  By demonstrating these qualities of spa treatment, many spas will generate a larger client base who are into this type of “Shamanic journey” that promotes a deeper wellness.  By stressing the importance of these types of excursions, the spa industry has continued to attract a very specific client base without suffering too badly.  However, while the industry itself is slowly losing clients do to this luxury shame, they still offer an experience that is incomparable in terms of glamour.</p>
<p>The guilt that many clients now feel in spending exorbitant amounts of money to simply relax is one aspect that has caused a dip in spa revenue, but with the economy slowly edging back, many spa owners are optimistic of what the future could bring to their business.  Hopefully this guilt will subside and clients will once again feel a sense of tranquility when entering many health spas, but at the moment, this sense of harmony with nature has not resulted in relaxed customers, but rather has caused a higher amount of stress due to this high cost of relaxation in a downward economy.</p>
