Seminars in Australia and New Zealand...
Business/Technology Editors
SOLANA BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 8, 1999--ZiaSun
Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB:ZSUN), a profitable Internet holding
company, today announced greater than expected attendance at the first
Internet investing educational seminars sponsored in Australia and New
Zealand by the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary Online Investors
Advantage (OIA).
The subsidiary said it was very encouraged by the high attendance
at the online investing conferences in Melbourne, Sydney, Auckland,
and Wellington, and that it plans to schedule seminars later this year
throughout both Australia and New Zealand with additional cities such
as Perth, Brisbane, and Adelaide.
OIA is the web's leading online investment education firm and is
dominant in the U.S. with more than 6,000 individuals trained
nationwide. The subsidiary expects accelerated growth from
international expansion, which began with this summer's conferences in
Australia and New Zealand. OIA plans to introduce its seminars to
Canada later this month beginning with Vancouver, and also intends to
target the United Kingdom and other areas in Asia and Europe.
"This tremendous success not only confirms OIA's ability to
significantly expand its sales base, but also demonstrates its
opportunity to maintain consistent revenue levels year-round by
compensating for the slow summer season in the U.S. with seminars
throughout the Pacific Rim," commented Scott Elder, chairman of ZiaSun
and founder of OIA. "We expect to see considerable growth from this
subsidiary since its operating strategy is now focused on Asia and
Europe, two regions that boast the world's fastest growing Internet
user populations."
