Inspired by the nature and tourism potential of Vietnam’s forests and seas, the swimsuit collection was made with golden as the main color in order to highlight the distinct beauty and charm of each contestant, according to the organizing committee.

In its maiden organization, the Miss Tourism Vietnam Global beauty pageant looks to find a talented beauty who will be responsible for promoting Vietnam’s tourism to the world.

The winner will be given the crown valued at VND3 billion (US$130,000).

The contest has attracted many promising candidates who have made multiple changes to perfect themselves in terms of appearance and skills during the course of the competition.

The organizing board assessed that many contestants own standout physiques, such as an ideal height and a slim figure.

Prior to the swimsuit photography, the top 35 contestants, who had been announced during the semifinal in Ho Chi Minh City on April 24, participated in two community and talent contests, where they introduced various ideas to promote tourism and showed their singing, dancing abilities, besides many other niche skills.

The finale is set to take place on May 21 in south-central Binh Thuan Province and be broadcast live on national channel VTV9.
