Juan Dlez-Arguelles EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: We were shocked by the recommendation of the Festival EWVazquez Advisory Committee not to fund our festival this year. There is a strong need to support our festival which has proven during our 12 years of existence to be a tourism genera- tor, a major tourist attraction and an excellent tool to create a better understanding among all residents of our marvellous city. Our festival also contributes to the welfare of the City of Miami any time our help is requested by City officials. During the ASTA Convention where 7000 delegates attended, our organiza- tion provided almost all the entertainment at no cost for the City. We also contributed with the manpower and elements neces- sary to coordinate the participation of more than 200 local people from 26 different nationalities in order to produce the opening number of the Miss Universe Pageant televised throughout the whole world. Presently, we are working on the Miss Teen USA,. and Miss USA. We are always ready to work with the City in all community projects. In view of our history of proven achievement in producing first rate events and our 100% accountability, we urge you to approve the additional $10,000.00 necessary to continue the success of the Hispanic Heritage Festival.

The celebration of the Hispanic Heritage Festivals has been held annually since 1973. The purpose of this event is to maintain the Hispanic heritage alive as one of the cultural attributes which is pact of the history of out nation. Undoubtedly, one of the largest and most successful Hispanic festi- vals in the 0.S.A., the UP has become known world wide for its selec- tion of first catie cultural events and its magnificent productions in the sports and entertainment fields. As in previous years, folkloric and cultural delegations will arrive from different Latin American countries which will result in a. direct sconomic impact on the tourist ecomony of Dade County especially foe hotels, rostaucants, brats touring companies, etc. Because of its international flavor, the HHF has attracted the attention of the media and received more press coverage than any other festival. The O.T.Z. Soma Festival, a two hour live prime time show, pro- duced by S.Z.M. (Spanish Znt91 Network) for the fifth consecutive year, will be held at the Miami Jai -Alai and is watched by approximately 34 million people in the Q.S.A., Mexico and the Dominican Republic. The fifteen days celebration also includes the Gala Ball, Parade, Paella 84, Hispanic Folklore festival, Art Exhibition, and the Festival of the Americas 'where more than 2OO,000 attended last year. As an added attraction there will be a Rodeo at the Festival of the Americas. The Rodeo will include bareback riding, saddle bronoo riding, bull riding, calf coping, steer wrestling, team roping and barrel racing. The'Rodeo will be approved and sanctioned by the Florida Cowboy Association and the Znternational Rodeo Association. it is the belief of the Hispanic Heritage Festival Committee that this celebration offers an ideal tool to present the Hispanic culture and traditions. The Hispanic Heritage Festival is.also considered a •tourism genecatoc•• and is perceived as a major tourist attraction. 4�_t-�,,p== �ia►Attx� ot=s�as rturTsv� a�MMsrru, t�Mc. 4011 it.

The purpose of the ffispenic 8eritage Festival is to cawmemorate the dis-covery of the New World by Christopher Columbus. The majority of Ameri- can history text books begin with the discoveries of Columbus sailing for the Spanish monarchy and his discoveries provided the foundation for future Spanish explorers like Ponce de Leon and his discovery of Florida in 1543 and like Pedro Menendes de Aviles who in 1567 founded a mission ".".... at the north bank of the Miami River. He called this mission Tequestal the same place is called today Miami and the Tequesta mission was lo- rated exactly where the James L. Knight Center was built. The heritage of Florida, and that of the United States is generally Hispanic, thus, this festival intends to depict no more than the coots of the culture of the United States. �,•',.,�, Undoubtedly, one of the largest and most successful Hispanic festivals "- in the O.S.A., the SHP has become known world wide for its selection of first rate cultural events and its magnificent productions in the sports and entertainment fields. --�'--•'.'

Because of its international flavor, the IMF attracted the attention of the international media and received more press coverage than any other festival. The HBr proved the ability to attract and retain tourists. It is the belief of the dispanic Heritage Festival Committee that this �4 celebration offers an ideal tool to expose what is unique to Dade ,, �.. •' County, i.e., a mixture of races and cultures all blended together "= showing the;richnese of their cultures, art, and traditions. if we take into consideration the delegations and tourists arriving to .�.: Mimi during the festival, we estimate that our festival generated more x than three million dollars in revenue foe Dade County businesses and residents. in addition& our records indicate a significant increase in =u= attendance of residents from Seaward and Pala Beach Counties. After 11 years of producing quality events, the HHP has full support ARIo Arj from the private sector.

No list of Miami citizens who contributed to the overwhelming success of ASTA's 52nd World Travel Congress would be complete without mentioning the Hispanic Heritage Festival Committee. The Committee's efforts were extremely visible throughout ASTA Congress week in October, Much of the appeal of Miami to travel agents is the special ethnic flair which the large number of area Hispanic citizens do to add flavor to the city's cultural life. The entertainment .your organisation sponsored and produced for the Port of Miatsi Cruisofest, Press Dinner at villa Vizcaya, and the extravagant final banquet at the Fontainebleau were truly among the most sesarable events of the Miami Congress. Pleas* extend ASTA's sincere congratulations and apprecia- tion to all who participated in the Hispanic Heritage Festival activities during Congress week. They did so very much to make Congress the successful event it was and which I am confident will help to revitalize Miami's tourism industry.; r Sincerely, Joseph R. Stone JRS/tad Stone Travel.

It certainly is gratifying to know that our efforts were not in vain. . The success -of the Convention was the result of magnificent teamwork, and I want to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to you and to the Hispanic Heritage Festival Committee for your big share in making the event all that we hoped it would be. Your cooperation has been outstanding. I think in particular of the Cruisefest, to which you brought the Miami Sound Ma- chine, two orchestras and three folkloric groups, to the delight of all. Then you escorted groups of wives of conven- tioneers to the Metropolitan Museum. You also provided the entertainment for the banquet at Vizcaya for the international press and, last but not least, supplied and paid for the deco- rations and the entertainment for the gala banquet at the Fontainebleau Hotel. A truly impressive contribution to the Convention. . I want to thank all of you for what you have done and for the enthusiasm you have shown for this project which doubtless will prove to be beneficial for our city and for Dade County.

The Hispanic Heritage showebiles were a highlight of the evening, providing the finest in Latin music and dance performances for approximately 8,000 travel agents and hundreds of local dignitaries. 1, personally, am extremely grateful for your assistance and will look forward to future Joint ventures in the entertainment and special events area. t CAELE: HAMS$ 14 R TEM..

The telecast averaged a 21.2 rating with a 36 share for the two-hour period. it was the highest rated show for the week, Number one. In the face of eroding network ratings, this is truly a significant achievement. Congratulations for your contribution to this tremendous result.
