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 Hispanic Heritage festival Committee, Znc: is duly registered as
a non-profit organisation in accordance with the laws of•tho State of
Florida and the Federal Government (Sol (C)(3)). tt is governed by a
Board of Directors; duly elected, representing distinguished community
members of diverse ethnic background and cultures, sharing responsibili-
ties without remuneration, in addition, we rely on a capable and pro-
fessional staff and an executive director.
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.

rot the 12th consecutive year, a group of prominent members of the Dade
County community is working diligently in the preparation of the
•NZSPANIC HERITAGS 1PISTIVAL6 .
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.
--�'--•'.'
As in previous years, folkloric and cultural delegations will arrive
from the different Latin American countries which results in an impor-
e
tant impact in tW Dade County economyr specially in hotels, restau-
rants, bus companies, eto,.
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.

Mr. Eloy Vazquez
Executive Director
Hispanic Heritage Festival Committee, Inc.
1840 West 49th Street
Suite 5O1
Hialeah, FL 33012
Dear Eloy:.
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

Committee, Inc.
1840 West 49th Street, Suite 501
Hialeah, Florida 33012
Dear Mr. Vazquez:
Thank you very much for your letter of November 4th, congratu-
lating me on my work for the ASTA Convention. 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.
Sincerely,
Cesar H. Odio
Assistant City Manager

Dear Eloy:
We have just received the official results of the telecast
of the 1984 Miss Universe Pageant." The Pageant telecast was a
resounding success and followed a Universe tradition of achieving
outstanding national Nielsen numbers. 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.
Thank you for your support and participation in the 1984
Miss Universe Pageant held in Miami, Florida.
Sincerely,
MISS UNIVERSE, INC.
