Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan who officiated the coronation, said the Miss Tourism International is not just a celebration of beauty, but it aims to promote tourism, culture and friendship.

Jeffrey said in a world quick to judge and form opinions, such events shape public perceptions.

“While many might reduce beauty pageants to mere displays of glamour, Miss Tourism International serves a higher purpose.

“It allows us to project our nation’s values, ideals and aspirations onto the global stage,” he said.

Miss Tourism International 2023 was held from November 10 to December 25, with a total of 44 countries from around the world participating in this year’s world finals.

They also had exciting fun outdoors activities at JSK Borneo Reef, where they had planted corals and dived into the blue open sea of Sabah’s waters.

The contestants also attended a delicious local food and fruit feast including durian and mangosteen at a dinner hosted by Luyang assemblyman Datuk Phoong Jin Zhe at Foh Sang here.

In addition, they spent meaningful moments with the residents of Sabah Cheshire Home & Services, a home for the physically challenged, where they brought joy and laughter, spreading the message of giving back to the community.

In conjunction with the Miss Tourism International 2023 World Final, a special voting contest will be held for around three months until February 14 next year through a voting platform where the public will get a chance to vote for their ‘Dreamgirl of The Year International 2023/24’.

Exciting prizes will be awarded to 10 lucky voters, who will win an all expenses paid trip to watch the 27th Miss Tourism International 2024 World Final, on top of three monthly lucky prizes for voters. One lucky draw voter will take home USD5,000 for choosing the right winner.

Miss Tourism International 2022 Launching at Kuching, Sarawak

Official Launching Ceremony of 25th Miss Tourism International World Final 2022/2023

President & Owner of Miss Tourism International : Tan Sri Datuk Danny Ooi Main Organizer: YAST Group

Organizing Chairlady: Esther Law Lee Poh  

Welcoming Speech by Esther Law Lee Poh

2022 2 22 2pm

Guest of Honor, YB Dato Sri Abdul Karim Hamzah, Minister for Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts and Minister for Youth, Sports and Entrepreneur Development, YBhg Datu Haji Junaidi bin Haji Reduan (Mayor of Kuching North), Dato Wee Hong Seng (Mayor of Kuching South City Council) Tan Sri Datuk Danny Ooi, President of Miss Tourism International, Mr. Hii Chang Kee Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts Sarawak, Our 3 Gorgeous Miss Malaysia Tourism, Distinguished Guests, Members of the Media, Ladies and Gentlemen

Welcome to the launching ceremony of the 25th Miss Tourism International 2022.

It is indeed my honour and privilege to be blessed with the opportunity to act as the OC for this meaningful, international event that is to be held in my homeland, Kuching.

The 25th Anniversary, or the Silver Jubilee of Miss Tourism International, indicates Miss Tourism International’s strong and durable foundation—a remarkable milestone that validates the hard work and persistency of the man who established Miss Tourism International and that is none other than our respected Tan Sri Datuk Danny Ooi; a man that successfully created a platform for woman with REAL dreams.

I am deeply moved and driven by Tan Sri’s dedication for he has been crafting this unique platform that empowers women to advocate for the value of Friendship and Culture through Tourism.

Through this platform, women with not only beauty but wisdom and friendliness can no doubt present themselves and lead internationally through a series of sustainable activities subsequently introduced over the past 25 years.

This year, we aim to introduce a range of engaging and thrilling activities by riding upon the rich heritage Sarawak is well-known for, by focusing on People, Prosperity, and Partnership, with a touch of digitalization to bring the world to Sarawak. Several remarkable activities will be initiated consequently throughout the year as we count down to our Grand Finale in November. A pre-event and post-event line up that is going to bring sustainable development to the world as a whole.

It was honestly beyond my expectation to be entrusted with this honour to organize this event as it was merely through a casual phone call between Tan Sri Datuk Danny Ooi and I that marked the start of our journey of bringing the world to Sarawak. I can still remember Tan Sri said, “Esther, you may want to consider leading to organize this event in Kuching”, I responded, “why not?”. A series of deep thought and conversation followed, and official agreements were signed on the 11th days after our conversation. The decision was reached on the basis that Miss Tourism International theme is coherent to YAST Group’s approach, where we invest for prosperity, develop for sustainability, and serve for humanity.

I told Tan Sri, we are ready for this special event, as we are fully prepared with the funding and resources to make it one of the grandest events in Kuching, Sarawak.

Not only that, this is also one of my good friends’ brand and event, hence, bringing this prestigious event back to Kuching, Sarawak, I believe, would mean a lot to this amazing friend of mine.

As Anak Sarawak I will strive to make this event a memorable and impactful one as I am confident that this event will not only be able to benefit the participating delegates, but this event will set forth a ripple effect which is capable of transferring the benefits from one to another and achieving an all-rounded and long-lasting impact that shall persist even after the end of Miss Tourism International 2022.

To all the merchants, service providers and related stakeholders, this is something we can do to restore life and the vibrant energy back into our economy, tourism sector and commercial industry especially after the pandemic.

To all Sarawakians, this is once again an opportunity to welcome the world to our rich heritage and cultural resources that we, as anak Sarawak could, can and will forever be proud of.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Tan Sri for entrusting me as the Organising Chairlady. Thank you Tan Sri for your trust in me.

Thanks to our Advisor, YB Dato Sri Abdul Karim for your presence today as our Guest of Honor YB Dato Sri Abdul Karim is indeed a very dedicated and caring leader for our Sarawakian community.

To Our Mayors , YBhg Datu Haji Junaidi and Dato Wee Hong Seng , appreciate your presence, and the support rendered to us.
