| description | MENTION Davos and one is likely to associate it with the prestigious World Economic Forum (WEF), the annual
meeting of global political and business elite. The recent WEF was held last month and it drew some 2,000
participants, our prime minister among them.
It is said that twothirds
of the world's wealth is controlled or held by the people who turn up for the Davos
meeting.
Situated in the eastern Swiss Alps, Davos in the early 1970s (before the WEF came to the fore) was known only
to skiers and wellheeled
holiday makers.
Snuggled high in the Alps, Davos is almost inaccessible except via a twohour
train ride from Zurich with one
change midway
at Landquart. |
