Each January, as the elite gather in Davos for the World Economic Forum, another sector experiences a significant surge in activity.

During this prestigious event, the demand for sex work in the Swiss town skyrockets, with affluent attendees willing to pay exorbitant amounts to fulfill their sexual desires, ranging from unusual role-playing scenarios to extravagant £90,000 parties.

Andreas Berger, who is the Head of PR and Communication at the paid-dating platform Titt4tat, shared with the Daily Mail that this period marks the ‘absolute peak season’ for the industry, with demand soaring by nearly 4,000% in just one week.

On Titt4tat, the priciest arrangement recorded involved the booking of five women for four days.

Berger explained, “The total cost reached 96,000 CHF (£90,000), excluding additional expenses such as hotel accommodations, dining, beverages, and possibly gifts.”

For the women traveling to Davos during this week, the high cost of local accommodation is a significant investment. However, the potential financial gain, with rates often doubling or tripling, makes it a lucrative opportunity for many.

Swiss escort agency, myLADIES, told the Daily Mail that a single escort booking can cost up to 20000 euros (£17,000).

A spokesperson for the agency, who wishes to remain anonymous, said that clients specifically seek ‘HighClass Escorts’ and the so-called ‘Girlfriend Experience,’ meaning companionship at dinners, events, and social occasions.

These women are often ‘fully booked days in advance for the WEF week.’

‘We have had a massive increase of women that are not ‘professional escorts’ but rather work regular jobs, as well as students. Currently, a teacher from the US is offering her services in Davos,’ Andreas Berger added.

‘Girls at the WEF also hold a degree, and most are multilingual and very distinguished.’

He revealed that at last year’s WEF, a woman who spent a weekend with a CEO of a global company was later offered a position at the firm.

In Davos, sought-after escorts are smartly dressed in business suits, so they don’t stand out.

Salome Balthus, 41, a high-end escort who has worked at Davos, told the Daily Mail last year that she doesn’t do parties, where she would be waiting for someone to pick her up.

‘It’s more exclusive than that,’ she said, adding that she handpicks her clients who appear to value her not just for her beauty and discretion, but also her intelligence.

Berger said that this year’s conference saw a major increase in American women coming to Switzerland to work the Davos scene.

They are followed by women from Russia, Ukraine and Germany. 

While some requests during WEF involve sex parties and role-play, others are surprisingly mundane. 

The spokesperson for myLadies, recounted how one well-known participant booked an escort with a single, simple request.

This year’s conference reportedly saw a major increase in American women coming to Switzerland to work the Davos scene 

‘He wanted someone to come to him in sweatpants and bring pizza,’ the spokesperson recalled. 

‘He just wanted to switch off in his 5000 CHF (£4,700) suite, sit on the floor with the woman, eat pizza, and talk about completely banal things.’

In another booking, a woman was hired for four hours simply to help a CEO practice his keynote speech.

‘She was simply supposed to sit quietly in an armchair, wear an elegant evening gown, and serve as an audience and listen to him while he rehearsed his speech,’ the agency said.

However, alongside these seemingly innocent requests, women are also hired for extravagant sex experiences and are often made to sign NDA’s.

‘The most extreme date was a sex party, a truly wild orgy, with crazy role-playing etc,’ Andreas Berger said.

‘We frequently review NDAs on behalf of the girls and advise them what to sign and what not.’

One escort who works in Davos with the agency LuxusEscortGirls said some of the world’s most powerful people are drawn to ‘submissive behaviour’, recounting how she is often hired simply to ‘boss around’ these men.

‘The more powerful a person appears in day-to-day business, the more longingly he often seeks the role of the subordinate in private,’ she told the Daily Mail.

‘I had encounters with high decision-makers who did not pay me for my affection and sex, but more for me to ignore them or even boss them around.’

‘Many CEOs or similar people also feel very drawn to submissive behaviour and look more for a lady to whom they can submit and act passively instead of actively.’

Escorts are often present when the global elite discuss world affairs.

Balthus says she has been privy to conversations on topics such as climate change, which she said leads the mega-wealthy to doom-monger about the state of the world.

Convinced that a climate change apocalypse is upon us they shamelessly spend their vast wealth on expensive escorts in Switzerland… which they fly to in their environmentally unfriendly private jets.

‘The elephant in the room is climate change. Everyone knows it can’t be prevented any more,’ she said.

‘They say they will enjoy a few more nice years on earth and know that there’s no future. They are very cynical and somehow deeply sad.’

Salome said topics like this come up at a bar, sauna or hotel lobby, especially if people already had a few drinks.
