ISSUES FOLDER
in INTEREST OF
TOURIST TRADE
WORLDS FAIR WILL CAUSE
MANY FROM SOUTH AMER
IcA AND CUBA TO PASS
THROUGH FLORIDA

The New York Worlds Fair
this summer will attract many
thousand Cubans and South
Americans to the United States.
Many of these tourists will enter
our country through Florida.
The Seminole Hotel of Jack
sonville has prepared a beautiful
three-colored folder in Spanish
to interest these tourists in the
state of Florida. This is probably
the first time that an American
hotel has solicited sLatin-Am
lean business through a folder
especially designed for such
trade.
Approximately twenty five
thousand of these Spanish folders
have been printed and dis
tributed in Cuba and other
Latin-American countries. For
eign tourist agents report that the
booklets have been received with
much interest and enthusiasm by
their clients.
Travel has been greatly slim
ulated between Cuba and Flor
ida during the past few years
because of the cordial relations
that have existed.
This increased travel has pro-
NOTED in Cuba an interest n the
United States. The Seminole
Hotel of Jacksonville reports
many Cuban tour parties. This
indicates that tremendous num-
Der of Cuban tourists will visit
the United States this summer
with such an attraction as the
Worlds Fair to draw them.
AS Florida will be the gate
way through which the travellers
from Cuba and South America
will enter, it is very important
that the people of the state
should say to them See Florida
First.
