In recent years, with the intensification of crisis in the most countries of the world, the welfare of people is expected to deteriorate. But, according to the expert’s prognosis, in 2012 the world market of luxury goods and services is expected to reach 1,5 trillion US dollars, which is associated with the growth of the middle class in China. Though, such situation is not typical of the economic situation in most European countries at the present time.
