Miss World or Miss Universe?
Unlike Miss Universe, the annual Miss World is allegedly about charity, humanitarianism, and talent.
There
are many beauty pageants that take place at an international level. The
Miss World pageant is considered as the longest running event of its
kind and was created by Eric Morley in the UK in 1951. It is one of the
three most publicized beauty pageants, along with Miss Universe and Miss
Earth.
Miss World 2017 has introduced a new format,
giving significant emphasis on social media and interactivity, where the
contestants will be separated in six groups for “Head to Head
Challenge” and the winner was selected from each group to move on to Top
40 finalists.

The fast-track categories are Miss World Beach Beauty, Beauty With a Purpose, Sports Challenge, Talent and Top Model.
The tie with Sanya
Sanya
was announced to host the 67th edition of the pageant following a
strategic cooperation agreement signed with the New Silk Road Fashion
Organization on February 27, 2017. It was the seventh time that Sanya
hosted the competition. (Sanya hosted the Miss World Finals in the years
2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2010 and 2015).
