Miss Grenada, Vivian Burkhardt, the country’s representative to the Miss World contest, left Grenada on October 30 for Sanya, China, accompanied by her mother, Valerie Daniel-Burkhardt. Vivian will be joined in mid-November by Jennifer Hosten, former Miss World (1970) and franchise holder.
Vivian will join other representatives of more than 100 countries in their bid for the prestigious Miss World crown. All contestants are expected to arrive in China by November 2. During the month-long stay, they will take part in a number of scheduled activities and be photographed at many of China’s historic sites to highlight that country’s rich cultural heritage.
The contestants will take part in events such as: Beauty with a Purpose, Miss Fitness, the Talent Show and Miss Top Model. All of these events will enable them to fast-track to the semi-finals of the Miss World.
It is expected that more than 2 billion viewers will see this year’s Miss World finals. “It has been such a long time since Grenada had a representative that I expect there is a special interest in viewing this year’s event,” said Jennifer Hosten. “We all wish Vivian the Very best and know that she will represent Grenada well abroad.”
Virgin Atlantic Airlines, sponsor of the Grenada team, will fly members as far as Hong Kong. “I would like to take this opportunity to thank Virgin, as well as certain individuals for their assistance. We could not do this without their help,” Hosten said.
The Miss World finals will be broadcast live from Sanya, China on December 1, 2007.
