Why has the Miss Earth board decided to organize the pageant in Nha Trang this year?
Ramon Monzon: 2010 is the tenth anniversary of the Miss Earth pageant. This is a big event, so we want to bring it outside the borders of the Philippines. Many countries wanted to host the event, such as Indonesia, Cambodia and Miami (USA), but we choose Vietnam because of the favourable conditions for the pageant, from finance to locales and hotels. VNN: How many people will come to Vietnam, including Carousel’s organizing board and contestants? Monzon: Our organizing board numbers around 30 members. They will go to Vietnam in groups to make surveys and to cooperate with Vietnamese partners to advertise the event. We are responsible for inviting and bring 90 contestants from around the world to Vietnam. The Vietnamese organizing board will be in charge of accommodations, travel inside Vietnam for Carousel’s members and the 90 contestants over a three week period. Vietnam will also take provide to life insurance, health insurance and security for the contestants and the organizing boar
