The proposed center was to be opened in 1976 as a permanent international exposition providing cultural, educational, and trade activities combining the features of an amusement park, world's fair, and trade fair. Its purpose was to encourage mutual understanding, cultural exchange, and trade among the peoples of North America, South America, Central American, and the Caribbean; to enhance the environment and economy of South Florida; and to provide a setting for the United States Bicentennial Celebration in South Florida. In 1975, the Authority was abolished without the Interama project ever being finished (Ch. 75-131, Laws).
