The 2012 Miss Tourism International beauty pageant returns with a bang this year, and, for the first time in its 16-year run, the finals will be broadcast live via free-to-air TV and Internet.
The finals will be held at Sunway Resort Hotel and Spa on Dec 31. Media partner StarMetro will be introducing readers to the beautiful ladies who will be vying for the titles, starting with the delegates from host country Malaysia, as well as Australia, Costa Rica, Hungary and Luxembourg.
MISS COSTA RICA: Anniel Quesada Cespedes works as a social media director, and likes playing poker and watching movies and videos in her spare time.
“As the delegate from the third greenest country in the world, I will promote the many attractions and activities, as well as the richness of nature one can do and enjoy in my country. Costa Rica is known for the wildlife that can be found in its rainforest, including unique plants and animals.”
The 170cm beauty described the special feeling of being in a rainforest located close to the beach as “one of the best experiences of life”. The native from Limon, Costa Rica, turned 25 this year.
MISS HUNGARY: The 22-year-old is quite an adventurer as Ágnes Molnár has travelled to some 40 countries in her life thus far.
“Wherever I go, I feel like I am taking a part of Hungary with me and as I like to share about my country, culture, scientists and people. We have a lot of big wonders despite being a small country. Hungary’s top attractions would be our National Wine Festival, as well as Buda Castle and its area, including the Parliament. This area of Budapest is very historical and fascinating, and is also a part of the Unesco World Heritage Site. I will also show visitors the countryside attractions like Lake Balaton, Dobogóko and thermal waters.”
The 170cm lass who hails from Szeghalom, Hungary, works as a volunteer and administrator.
MISS LUXEMBOURG: As a tourism ambassador for her country, Heloise Paulmier said she would tell visitor that her countrymen are the funniest people and there are a lot of places to visit in Luxembourg.
“The whole country is an attraction because it is so amazing! Luxembourg is a wonderful place and everything has its own charm. Visitors must see everything because every place is an attraction on its own.”
The 18-year-old student who stands at 162cm tall enjoys dancing.
MISS AUSTRALIA: Her mind is not something to mess with for Monika Radulovic, 22, has an honours graduate in psychology.
“As a tourism ambassador for my beautiful country Australia, I would make sure I tell the world about the tourist attractions in my country and show them lots of photos so they see how beautiful it is! I would choose Uluru and the Sydney Opera House, which are natural and man-made attractions respectively, to show how diverse Australia is.” The brunette who stands at 175cm tall originally hails from Doboj, Bosnia.
MISS MALAYSIA: Her hometown of Penang holds a special place in the heart of Jun Yong. Thus the 168cm-tall student would love to promote the island to her fellow delegates and other visitors. “George Town, Penang, was recently accorded a listing as a Unesco World Heritage site. The well-preserved heritage buildings here are breathtaking. As Penang is also regarded as Malaysia’s food capital, the fusion and multiracial dishes will be very enticing for tourists, especially if they are feeling adventurous.” Yong noted that Malaysia as a whole is simple amazing, from its “incredibly diverse cultures to the pristine reserves of Mother Nature”. The 20-year-old enjoys singing, dancing and reading.
