Mister Nguyen Cong Khe, head of the Media Youth Group, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Vietnam, and authorities of the province of Ninh Thuan, reunited to sign the contract that gives Ninh Thuan the rights to host the Miss Vietnam 2012 and Miss Earth 2012 pageants. Media Youth Group will invest in the construction of a special 2000-seat auditorium for the events called the “Stage of Beauty”.

This new open-air, roofed auditorium will feature the latest in technology as well as a magical water fountain, making it one of a kind in Southeast Asia.

The Miss Vietnam 2012 competition is scheduled to take place in August, while the Miss Earth 2012 contest will be held in early December. Around 90 contestants from all over the globe will tour places of interest in Vietnam during a month before the final event.

The province of Ninh Thuan is located in the South Central coast of Vietnam, with pristine beaches and an active agricultural movement. Its capital, Phan Rang – Thap Cham City, is located 105km south of Nha Trang (city which hosted the 2010 pageant).

Also, it was learned that Bangkok, Thailand, will host the Miss Earth 2013 competition. The thai capital was supposed to welcome the 2011 competition but the impending floods caused the event to be cancelled, and to return to its home base of Manila.
