Miss Tourism International is an annual international beauty pageant that was first held in 1994 at Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia.
The Miss Tourism International world final is a New Year’s Eve pageant that plays host to many international beauty queens from around the world.
This year, however, Malaysia once again hosted the 22nd Edition of Miss Tourism International World Final, a most extensive pageantry title in the effort to promote Malaysia’s Tourism and reveal to the world its many beautiful faces, from the bustling cities and idyllic towns to the sun-kissed islands.
The Miss Tourism International has grown to be the proverbial vehicle; capturing the essence of Malaysia and its way of life through the eyes of these beauties. Miss Tourism International 2019 World Final, with the Theme “Bringing the World to Malaysia”, saw the arrival of 50 delegates from around the world embracing the warm welcome of Malaysia.
