Davos, Switzerland is a relatively small town. Its population is roughly 11,000 people. Once a year, this grows to 30,000 as the World Economic Forum meets. This year, there are 3,000 active participants. About 800 are Americans, so roughly every fourth person is from the states. The remaining 27,000 include security, restaurant workers, news media, and support staff.
