Miss Tourism and the Miss Tourism World Tour hold annual competitions to promote global tourism. The Miss Tourism World Organization brings together contestants and titleholders from various countries in a selected host nation to participate in Miss Tourism World, a well-established pageant centred on tourism. Contestants produce tourism videos, showcased during the final event, to spotlight destinations and encourage tourism. [4]
The Miss Tourism World Organization's primary goal is to promote tourism through its participants. It offers international visibility for the host country, aiming to attract tourists, boost foreign revenue, and support local communities by presenting the country as a travel destination. [5]
The Miss Tourism World pageant includes titles such as Miss Tourism World Africa, Asia, Americas, Europe, and Oceania. These continental titles provide a platform for host countries to present their cultural and tourism concepts to a broader audience, including the youth. [6]
Contestants participate in segments such as evening gown, swimsuit, and national costume presentations. The Miss Tourism World pageant has been hosted across four continents, allowing participants to compete for both the overall title and their respective continental crowns. The national costume segment is mandatory, with the Best National Costume Award presented to one contestant during the finale. [7]
