Because of free riders: WEF no longer threatens to withdraw from Davos

“Last year things were quite tough, but this year we have been able to credibly show the residents of Davos that we cannot stay in Davos for a long time if the situation does not improve,” said WEF director Alois Zwinggi. (archive image)

“Last year things were quite tough, but this year we have been able to credibly show the residents of Davos that we cannot stay in Davos in the long term if the situation does not improve,” WEF director Alois Zwinggi said in a statement interview with the “SonntagsZeitung”. ». “That has apparently gained a foothold and the hotels are now doing well.” So the WEF wants to stay in Davos.

The reason for the organizers’ dissatisfaction in the past has been the increasing number of organizations organizing parallel events during the WEF, but having nothing to do with the World Economic Forum. This also caused problems among holiday guests, according to Zwinggi. The municipality now arranges temporary buildings for such events.

Threatened to leave

Four years ago, Zwinggi said: “The situation with freeriders has not improved in recent years. This is a big problem for us.” There will come a time when these uninvited guests will bring the Davos ecosystem to a standstill. “Then we may be forced to leave Davos.”

The problem of increasingly busy streets and the sometimes angry population does not primarily have to do with the WEF. The number of participants in the forum has remained constant in recent years, Zwinggi said at the time. “What has grown is the entire parallel universe around us.”
