The Permanent Secretariat Program (PSP), which is composed of twelve
elected representatives from the various Latin American regions and
the United States, is based in Dade County with its members traveling

Permanent Secretariat Program (PSP) is to strengthen the Dade County
area as the major international center for trade and tourism in the
American hemisphere. It attains this goal through developing and
administering each year's Hemispheric Congress of Latin Chambers of
Commerce and Industry, which includes coordinating the business
transactions that result from the Congress. In addition, the PSP
implements the resolutions of the Congress which call for the
establishment of an inter-american network of Latin Chambers of
Commerce and Industry coordinated through the PSP.
f' More specifically, as outlined in the attached work plan (Exhibit 1),
key activities that the PSP will perform during the contract year
will be as follows:
h_tr
Expand the working network among the chambers of commerce
and industry in Latin America, the Caribbean and Latin

The purpose of the Secretariat is to plan, develop and
coordinate each year's Congress and the related business
transactions with Latin America and the Caribbean, as well
as, to continue implementing the resolutions of the
Congress which call for the establishment of an
Inter -American network of Latin Chambers of Commerce and

In essence, this proposed project will facilitate the
establishment of Dade County as the international center
of trade and tourism of the American Hemisphere.
The work plan of the Permanent Secretariat for the balance
of the calendar year 1985-1986 is as follows:
1) To develop a computerized commercial information
system to assist private industry of Latin America,
the Caribbean, and the United States in expanding
their trade opportunities. In developing the new
information system the Permanent Secretariat will try
to integrate existing networks of information, and in
this respect has negotiated an agreement with the
Organization of American States -RICO Information
network based in Bogota, Colombia. At the present
time, the OAS-AICO commercial information services
are been offered to 135 Hispanic Chambers of Commerce
in the U.S.A. We are contemplating expanding the
distribution to 1,000 American Chambers of Commerce.

Latin America and the Caribbean are, without
doubt, some of the fastest growing international
markets. Recognizing this reality, the Latin
Chamber of Commerce of the United States
(CANACOL) works toward enhancing the relations
among the United States, Latin America, and the
Caribbean with the goal of expanding trade and
commerce, as well as tourism and cultural
exchanges.
Latin America comprises the largest sector _of
international visitors to Dade County;
approximately 2,498,103 Latin Americans visited
us in 1982, spending an average of $987.50 for
food and lodging alone per'. stay per person.
These two figures translate intc gross
expenditures of •$2,466,876,712.50!! A Congress
of this nature will bring to the Greater Miami
area members of key Chambers of Latin America and
the Caribbean, as well as Latin Chambers of
Commerce from throughout the United States -
approximately six hundred (600) participants and
their relatives utilizing as many hotel rooms and
making use of meeting and banquet rooms in a
major hotel in the area.
