Fiji bids to host India fete

From the Fiji Times, Thursday, June 03, 2010


THE cream of India's beauty lands on our shores Sunday as part of Tourism Fiji's bid to host Miss India 2011.

The three winners of the Ms India Pageant 2010 will arrive on an Air Pacific flight from Hong Kong along with a supporting film crew.

They are 22-year-old Manasvi Mamgai, a well known Indian model from Delhi who took out the Miss India World title, software engineer Neha Hinge, 23, who was crowned Miss India International, and Nicole Faria, 20, the Bangalore beauty who won Miss India Earth.

The trip was offered to the trio as part of their prizes and the group was invited by Air Pacific, Tourism Fiji and Tours Managers.

Tourism Fiji chief executive officer Joe Tuamoto said the industry wanted to showcase Fiji's products and excursions have been arranged for them in the tourim belt.

"This is the first step in our bid to host Miss India 2011 which is a huge event. They go global and if we land it then it's a big fish," he said.
