Registration Statement on Form 10-SB Filed October 19, 2005

Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form 10-SB Filed November 7, 2005

File No. 0-51126

Dear Ms. Jacobs:

Pursuant to your letter of January 19, 2005, we are responding to your specific comments and questions. We have today filed our Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form 10-SB to reflect our responses, a redlined copy which is included with this letter. Our responses follow in the order they were raised in your letter. We have also enclosed various exhibits to this letter which provide the supporting details as requested.

Amendment No. I to Form 10-SB

1. We issue our prior comment 3 of our March 9 letter that the statutory safe harbors of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act are not available to you as a non-reporting issuer. Please either delete the reference or make it clear each time that you refer to the safe harbors that they are unavailable to you.

Registrant Response to Staff Comment No. 1. The applicable disclosures have been revised to indicate that the safe harbor protection will not be available until such time as the Registrant is a reporting company.

[Reference: the responsive text is found on page 3 of the Form 10-K/A, first paragraph under “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements” and the top of page 10].

Part 1 - Item 1. Description of Business

Background

2. As previously requested in prior comment 5 of our March 9 letter, please provide us with a copy of your business plan on a supplemental basis.

Registrant Response to Staff Comment No. 2. The requested business plan will be provided to the Commission Staff on a supplemental basis.

[Reference: not applicable].

Please disclose that WorldTradeShow acquired Dudesmart.com from the owners of Hi-Tek Multimedia, Inc., Mr. Thomas Johnson and Dr. Lee Johnson, the current majority shareholder of WTS. Please also disclose how the value of the stock issued was determined.

Registrant Response to Staff Comment No. 3. We have disclosed that we acquired DudeSmart.com from Mr. and Mrs. Johnson and the valuation formula.

[Reference: The requested disclosure is set forth in the fourth paragraph of page 3].

Disclose that the stock issued for the acquisition of the software from Hi-Tek was issued to the Johnsons. Disclose how the value of that stock was determined and the total consideration involved.

Registrant Response to Staff Comment No. 4. We have disclosed that we acquired the Hi-Tek software license from the Johnsons and how the value of the stock was determined: “We utilized a historical stock price analysis to determine that $0.01 was a fair price for the shares issued to Hi-Tek in this transaction. We reviewed the illiquidity of our shares trading in the Pink Sheets and the daily closing market price and trading volume of our shares for the 60 day period prior to the transaction. The range of pricing during this period was from $0.005 to $0.015. We concluded that the trading of our stock in the Pink Sheets may not reflect the ‘fair price’ of the stock because of the thin trading market, wide bid-ask spread and large volatility in historical stock prices. Additionally, we considered that the shares being issued to Hi-Tek are restricted securities that are unregistered and not able to be traded in the public marketplace. Based on this analysis, the consideration price of $0.01 per share was determined to be fair.”

[Reference: The requested disclosure is set forth in the first paragraph of page 4].

As previously requested in prior comment 6 of our March 9 comment letter, describe in this section all phases of your business plan, necessary milestones, timetables for completion, costs associated with each milestone, and progress to date, perhaps in tabular form.

Specifically address these standards in your response and revise your financial statement notes to include your accounting policy for web site development costs.

Registrant Response to Staff Comment No. 6. The Registrant has no costs for website development or research and development. All costs are incurred via the Hi-Tek Service Agreement.

In addition to responding to those comments please explain your statement that, “This policy is in line to EITF 02-16 which states that cash receipts which can be separated.” Also address the following in your response:

•

Tell us what identifiable benefit Business.com.vn receives in exchange for the consideration earned by WTS.

•

Tell us how this identifiable benefit is sufficiently separable from your purchase of Business.com.vn’s license such that you would have entered into an exchange transaction with a party other than Business.com.vn in order to provide that benefit.

•

Tell us how you were able to reasonably estimate the fair value of the benefit provided.

Registrant Response to Staff Comment No. 37.

•

The identifiable benefit Business.com.vn receives is expertise in marketing through the Internet -Google, Yahoo, offline, affiliates, alliances, much more exposure in the USA, to help gain more reservations

•

Business.com.vn, are the exclusive owners of Hotels.com.vn the official Hotel Travel website recognized by the Vietnamese Government. We feel this a substantial deal for WTS. We are breaking new ground for the online travel industry in the Country of Vietnam. If we would have entered into another party other than Business.com.vn we would not have this rare opportunity.

•

The company negotiated with Business.com.vn for many months, we determined that the online travel market is expanding especially in Asia. We saw a mutual beneficial relationship with Business.com.vn to help with their directory, Hotels.com.vn and we believe our deal is below market value as compared to other Asian online travel companies. The best example would be Elong of China which IAC paid a substantial amount of money to get a piece of the China market.
