The winner of the Miss Universe Fiji pageant will travel to Mexico City to compete in the Miss Universe international final on December 24.
Grant Dwyer, the director of marketing, events, and sponsorship for Miss Universe Fiji, stated that Fiji last participated in the event in 1981 with Lynn Michelle McDonald as its representative.
The international property development company, the Lux Project’s Fiji, has acquired the Miss Universe Fiji licence and is excited to rejuvenate the prestigious pageant.
“Our focus is on selecting a positive role model, promoting Fiji as a prime travel destination, highlighting the country’s natural beauty, pristine environment, fashion, culture, and the friendliest people. Additionally, we aim to raise awareness for positive causes and support charities,” said Mr. Dwyer.
Miss Universe Fiji and its organisers are seeking partnerships with Fiji’s premier organisations, brands, and experiences to enhance public relations and achieve positive outcomes. They also aim to strengthen connections with Australia, Asia, India, New Zealand, the USA, and South Pacific neighbors.
