reflects the kind of interest and enthusiastic response several
venture funds have given upon reviewing our business model. The site
will include all the necessary information for travel on a global as
well as a domestic plane. E-Commerce-driven travel and transportation
services are the fastest-growing and highest-grossing businesses on
the Internet, with more than $900 million booked in 1998, with $8.9
billion forecast by year 2002. The PSAZZ.COM business model uses
interactive Internet technology to allow travelers to 'try and buy',
to experience a value-added virtual trip and save travelers money on a
wide range of services."
Walsh continued saying, "We are pleased that a number of
prestigious European investors, including Siemens have taken a
position in PSA and some are in the process of evaluating the
investment opportunities. We share in the excitement that Psazz.com is
creating not only from an investment point of view but also as a value
driven B2B enterprise. Our vision is to become the Internet travel
source providing travelers in nine languages the local presence as
well as the global reach. The capital provided by the European
investors enables us to accelerate our launch as well as enhance the
marketing and sales activities of Psazz.com."
