Miss World 2010 will not be held in Vietnam (may be in China)
It has been said that “Miss World is not Miss World without controversies”. Since time in memorial, this London-based pageant has been plagued by scandals. The 2010 edition is not an exception. The pageant has not even started yet but it is already drawing the attention of pageant fans worldwide.
The problem came when the Province of Khanh Hoa announced that it is not willing to spend USD 10 million just to sponsor the pageant. No one from Khanh Hoa can afford to shell out the amount needed to host Miss World 2010. In another development, Hoang Kieu and the RAAS company will instead seek the permission of the Vietnamese government to host Miss World 2011 or 2012.
And this week, the Performance Arts Agency has proposed that the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism not host the Miss World 2010 pageant in Vietnam.
According to the agency, Vietnam has many great anniversaries this year and it is not a favorable time to organize the Miss World pageant. Moreover, Khanh Hoa province withdrew from hosting the pageant while the Government didn’t permit Tien Giang province to host the event and RASS, which holds the right to organize the pageant in Vietnam, announced its withdrawal.
The Performance Art Agency said that the RASS group is responsible for annulling its contract signed with the Miss World Organization, which was signed in July 2008.
