Khanh Hoa now wants to host Miss Earth 2010

The administration of Khanh Hoa has asked the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism’s permission to organize Miss Earth 2010 in Nha Trang City.
Previously, the Thanh Nien Media JS Company and the Vinpearl Tourism and Trade JS Company asked Khanh Hoa province’s permission to organize the Miss Earth pageant in October 2010, 2011 and in subsequent odd years at the Vinpearl tourist site in Nha Trang.
The province is awaiting an answer from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
Khanh Hoa was recently allowed to withdraw from the Miss World 2010 pageant, which was scheduled for Nha Trang this November.
The organizer of the Miss Earth pageant, Carousel Company, signed a memorandum of understanding on January 28 with Vietnamese sponsors to hold the Miss Earth 2010 pageant in Vietnam this November.
The announcement came midst a ceremony at Legend Saigon Hotel in HCM City. In attendance were Ramon Monzon, Chair of Carousel, and Lorraine Schuck, Carousel’s Executive Manager, plus Vietnamese organizers, including Nguyen Cong Khe, Chairman of the Thanh Nien Media JS Company, Nguyen Quang Thong, editor-in-chief of Thanh Nien Newspaper and Pham Nhat Vuong, chairman of Vincom Group.
