The winner of the Miss Universe Fiji pageant will travel to Mexico City to compete in the Miss Universe international final on December 24.
Miss Universe Fiji marketing, events, and sponsorship director Grant Dwyer noted that Fiji last participated in this prestigious event in 1981 when Lynn Michelle McDonald represented the nation.
He mentioned that the Lux Project’s Fiji, an international property development company, has acquired the Miss Universe Fiji Licence and is excited to rejuvenate the esteemed event.
“The focus is on selecting a positive role model, promoting Fiji as a premier travel destination, showcasing the natural beauty of the country, the pristine environment, the fashion, the culture, and the friendliness of its people. Additionally, the event aims to raise awareness for positive causes and support charities,” said Dwyer.
Miss Universe Fiji and its organisers are aiming to collaborate with Fiji’s leading organisations, brands, and experiences.
“This collaboration will improve public relations and yield positive outcomes, fostering connections with Australia, Asia, India, New Zealand, the USA, and our South Pacific neighbors,” he added.
Miss Universe Fiji has partnered with the Pearl Resort & Spa Fiji in Pacific Harbor as the official host of the 2024 Miss Universe Fiji national final, which will be held on August 30.
