This minor international beauty event is one of the several tourism pageants, that appeared over the years.
Miss Tourism International began in 1994 and has always been held in various locations around Malaysia(except for 2006, when it was staged in China). Also, no pageant took place in 1996 and 1997.
Among contestants, that you could know from Grand-Slam pageants, has been, for example, Laura Romero of Argentina, while our country has been successfully represented by Zuzana Štěpanovská(Miss Earth semifinalist), Zuzana Putnářová(Miss Int. runner-up) or Michaela Maláčová(Miss Universe contestant).
