The whole world will have the chance to witness the
beauty of the Philippines as Miss Earth 2013 takes the lead in promoting
eco-tourism to the global community.
Miss Earth, the only pageant with a proactive
advocacy in saving the environment, will focus on eco-tourism this year as its
contribution to the country’s efforts to use tourism as a means to help
alleviate poverty. With the event being broadcast in more than 50 countries
around the world, Miss Earth will prove to be a very effective channel to
promote the Philippines as a top eco-tourism destination that tourists from
other countries can visit all year round. Carousel Productions, Inc., the
pageant organizer, will be working hand in hand with Miss Earth Foundation and
ABS-CBN Foundation to achieve the eco-tourism goals of Miss Earth and make the
pageant event even more spectacular this year.
Miss Earth President Ramon Monzon says that this
year, Miss Earth will showcase to the world how beautiful our country is. “The
Philippines is naturally beautiful – the bodies of water, the land forms, and
the Filipinos’ warm and hardworking disposition – are the perfect components
for a successful eco-tourism campaign,” he declares.
Executive Vice President Lorraine Schuck says, “The
show will feature the most breathtaking eco-tourism places in the Philippines
and will be our way of giving back to our country.”
90 Miss Earth beauties for a cause will converge in
the country starting the second week of November to engage in environmental
awareness and conservation activities, and compete for the coveted Miss Earth
crown. With more than a decade of eco-service to the world, the Miss Earth
pageant has continually produced beauty queens who serve as eco-ambassadors
that inspire worldwide cooperation to promote and work towards a sustainable
Earth.
