The visit of these vessels, would andowillhereatlygeneaenhancecthe
opportunity to see and visit them; g
City's image and Waterfront opportunities. A partial list, also
attached, describes these vessels.
The option of waiving the fees is necessary, at this time, due to
the fact that several other Port Cities will be competing with
Miami in the effort to have these "World Class" vessels stay at
their facilities.
The value to the City in these cases is commensurate with the
public appeal and positive media exposure that these vessels
offer.
