To quote Blake, ‘whenever our girls visit a tourist location, we post images up on our international Facebook page and this drives interest from around the world. In recent years, Miss World Fiji’s tourism excursions have gained interest in countries like Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Brazil, England and Korea. Whoever is crowned Miss World Fiji 2017 will also promote Fiji tourism at the international finals in China which begins in November.”
