Miss World Returns to Sanya
Miss World Returns to Sanya
April 18th, 2004
It is official! Sanya City on Hainan Island will host the grand finale of Miss World 2004 on December 4th, 2004, at the 'Crown of Beauty' theater where last year's event was held. A press officer of Sanya City said the local government began negotiating with the competition's organizing committee on hosting the 54th Miss World Competition soon after the 53rd one, satisfied with the publicity the resort received. Julia Morley expressed satisfaction with last year's competition and announced that over 120 countries will be represented in this year's pageant.
The signing was not a clean sweep. Many Chinese cities expressed interest, but the northern beach city of Dalian emerged as Sanya's greatest competitor, flying in Ms. Morley and a team of Miss World officials to convince them to move the pageant, and Ms. Morley had seriously considered doing so, but a last-minute outbid by the Sanya Government left the people of Dalian disappointed.
