Every year, the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, attracts many important personalities from the industry, government, and academia to address urgent worldwide issues including economic growth, inflation, and climate change. 

However now it is seen that this esteemed occasion also has a darker side. A Daily Mail article showed a major surge in requests for escorts and sex parties during the yearly conference, thereby exposing the dark events that usually go along with such select events.

Why are escort services in high demand in Davos?

According to the Daily Mail report, escort services had a notable increase in reservations during the WEF meeting since wealthy and influential guests paid high fees for companionship.

Around 300 women and transwomen are scheduled this year, twice the 170 last year, says Andreas Berger, spokesperson for the Titt4Tat- a platform that arranges paid “dates,”, he said  "There were significantly more sex parties than in previous years,". He further revealed that 300 escorts had been arranged for just 90 clients, signaling the extravagant and secretive nature of these interactions.

During WEF, how much do escorts make?

The report showed staggering figures about the earnings of these escorts. Many had to sign non-disclosure agreements following bookings to keep their privacy. Still, some ladies admitted that they made up to £6,000 (₹6.5 lakh) for one booking.

Within only three days of the event, one website by itself saw about £270,000 (₹2.9 crore) spent on bookings. Driven by wealthy customers eager to spend during the event, other agencies stated total revenues of just under CHF 1 million (₹9.68 crore) for the week.

What’s the role of sex parties and orgies at Davos?

The Daily Mail report also alleged that sex parties and orgies were organized by some of the wealthiest and most powerful participants in Davos. 

Andreas Berger observed a noticeable rise in such events from those of past years and called the WEF of this year a particularly indulgent affair.

These events apparently had many escorts, therefore underlining the sophisticated way of life of some guests.

What kinds of requests do escorts get?

An agent from the Swiss escort agency Escort Avantgarde shared insights on the usually requested events. Susann, an agency representative, stated that anal sex ranked among the most often asked activities. She said, "These types of people consider themselves untouchable, which they often realistically are."

Susann also highlighted the risks escorts face in such situations. She added, "I think physical attacks on escort ladies, for example, to live out a certain BDSM fetish, are absolutely conceivable."

How does this affect Davos’ image?

While the WEF promotes itself as a platform to tackle global challenges, these revelations paint a stark contrast to its public-facing mission. The dark underbelly of the event—marked by sex parties, massive spending on escorts, and secrecy—has raised questions about the ethical conduct of those attending.
