On the Slopes, On Line, On the Money � with NEW E-Commerce Seminars

A new web site called ski-hub.com is now on-line. "We are certain that it will be of major interest to all skiers who care about their future and expect value for their hard earned money" said Joseph Vella, CEO of Ski-Hub.com Alpine World is pleased to be the first to offer world-renowned Ski-hub, e-commerce seminars in ski resorts worldwide. Combined with e-commerce seminars your Alpine World snow holiday may present a legitimate tax advantage. The web site is located at http://www.ski-hub.com and contains much more information than can be provided in this release.

The entertainment value of the web also needs to be acknowledged and for this very reason, we have catalogued the world�s major ski sites. We believe this is one of the best catalogues available on the internet.

Ski-Hub has built a conference, which takes delegates on a journey through the history and background of the World Wide Web, and it's logical evolution into e-commerce. It then explains at length the concept of e-commerce and it's relevance and usage by all ambitious businesses today and tomorrow. Most importantly, "It has been done in language everyone can comprehend." says barrister Peter Searle.

THESE CONFERENCES ARE OF VALUE AND RELEVANCE TO EVERY PROFESSIONALLY OR SELF-EMPLOYED PERSON NO MATTER WHAT THEIR CURRENT INTERNET OR COMPUTER SKILLS.

Ski-Hub conferences have three major objectives: 1) To have delegates leave the conference with a clear understanding of the concept and importance of e-commerce today and it's relevance to their business or profession. 2) To legitimately provide tax benefits for delegates travelling to the snow. 3) To make the snow experience not only more enjoyable but also profitable.

Ski-hub conferences also allow delegates to interact with other like-minded professionals all over the world via the Ski-hub WOW! sessions. Joseph Vella explains "It is the development of the WOW! Sessions which differentiates Ski-hub conferences from the proliferation of video based, non interactive seminars."

Having registered for a Ski-hub conference, delegates are given a password, which allows access to the Ski-hub WOW! database and notice board. Feedback on an array of e-commerce subjects is available from the worldwide Ski-hub virtual community. This facility is ongoing for all registered delegates who can access the WOW! data base and notice board from home or office before, during and after their conference.

The five-day program consists of video presentations and live internet feeds, where technology allows.

The conference registration fee is USD300 but in view of the declining Australian dollar, this fee has been set at AUD545 for Australian and New Zealand delegates for the 2001 Southern Hemisphere winter. A very favourable rate of exchange we are sure you will agree!

Australian residents should call Alpine World or their local travel agent who can offer reduced registration fees in conjunction with travel and accommodation arrangements made using Alpine World product.

Alpine World is Australia's largest corporate snow holiday operator. There are 30 specially trained consultants in 3 state offices instantly available, allowing you to organise accommodation and/or travel needs with one e-mail or phone call. A complete range of accommodation standards is available to comply with your budgetary needs - both as an individual and as a group.

Alpine World will ensure your getaway comes with an extraordinary experience in an extraordinary place.
