"It is recommended that a member of the
City Commission be appointed as official
representative of the City of Miami and
the Department of Trade & Commerce
Development at a working trade mission
in Spain, from November 7-16, 1980." '
The Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce and the South Florida
Coordinating Council have organized a project entitled South
Florida Initiative 180. The purpose of this project is to
promote a working trade mission to Europe to explain the
unique opportunity of exploiting the Latin American market
from the safe haven of a South Florida office or plant location.
This trade mission is scheduled to depart for London on November 7,
where it will be divided into three groups: one to stay in England,
one to go to Germany, and one to Spain. During this mission ,
each team of delegates will be scheduled a minimum of two appoint-
ments per day with Chief Executive Officers of companies in the
cities visited. At this point, South Florida Initiative 180 is
in contact with U. S. Embassies, Chambers of Commerce, and trade
associations to aid in identifying specific companies to call on.
In addition, South Florida Initiative 180 will be contacting
South Florida executives to learn of contacts already established.
The cost to the City for participating in this mission, which will
further South Florida's economic growth and diversify our employment
base will be $2,850; this price includes air fare, hotel accommoda-
tions, and ground transportation. All expenses incurred in connec-
tion with this mission will be borne by the Department of Trade &
Commerce Development.
