The society in which we live values what is exclusive. All we need to do is analyze the values of bags, clothing items, cars, among other luxury goods, to realize that what is worth less is worth more.
But it's not just the things that separate VIPs – an English abbreviation for… very important person (a very important person) – from “mere mortal.” Some places are also reserved for the lucky few who have the privilege of enjoying the charm and beauty it has to offer.
Many go further: depending on the location, it is not enough to have a lot of money, you need to receive an invitation. Everything to make the space exclusive for guests only.
