On the evening of October 25 at the Miss Grand International 2016 grand finale in Las Vegas, host Brian White surprised everyone with the announcement that Vietnam has been selected as the venue to host next year’s competition.

He also introduced a short two-minute video introducing Vietnam and its people to the audience that included the popular tourist destinations of Ha Long Bay and Hoi An Ancient Town.

This is the second-time Vietnam has been chosen to host an international beauty pageant for women of such high stature, having hosted the Miss Universe Pageant in 2008.
