PAGEANT UPDATES: Thai beauty wins Miss Tourism Queen International 2011!

XI'AN, China - A Thai beauty bested over 91 other beautiful candidates after winning the Miss Tourism Queen International 2011 held at Qujiang International Exhibition Center, Yanzhan Road, in Xi'an China Tuesday evening, December 27.

Kantapat Peeradachainarin is the first Thai to win the title. She also held the title Miss Friendship International way back in 2009, and was a finalist in Miss International 2011.

First runner-up was Miss Fernando de Noronha, Jeannine Castro. Belarusian beauty Maria Ovechkina, Wang Lu of China North, and Nelly Kamwelu of Tanzania placed second, third, and fourth runners-up respectively.

Misses from India (6th), Canada (7th), Namibia (8th), Bolivia (9th) and Portugal (10th) completed the Top 10 while Misses from Brazil (11th), Russia (12th), Sri Lanka (13th), Guadeloupe (14th), Vietnam (15th), Venezuela (16th), Australia (17th), South Africa (18th), Czech Republic (19th) and China South (20th) completed the remaining Top 20.

Surprisingly, Miss Philippines, Isabella Manjon, failed tomake the cut despite of being one of the favorites for the crown. Meanwhile, just like the controversial, bogus Miss Asia Pacific World 2011 pageant, the host country China has two delegates - very unusual for an international "grand slam" pageant. Both Chinese delegates made the cut.
Miss Thailand wins its first MTQI title.

Beauty Mania recently degraded Miss Tourism Queen International its grand slam status earlier this year due to: 1) lack of social relevance and purpose; 2) being a money-making pageant through online voting; 3) lack of credibility as a grand slam pageant; and 4) lack of international awareness. Aside from Beauty Mania, other giant pageant sites like Missosology, Times of Beauty, and Critical Beauty do not recognize Miss Tourism Queen International as a grand slam for the same reasons.

Although one pageant site named Miss Tourism Queen International as the third most important pageant right behind Miss World and Miss Universe, majority of the pageant fans still do not agree with this statement.
