Miss Tourism Indonesia contest to be held in July

Miss Tourism Indonesia will be held for the first time this year said El John Foundation, the organizing committee, on Saturday.

The event is supported by many parties including the Culture and Tourism Ministry.

The registration has been opened since March 2008 with the applicants now reaching 100. The registration form is available at www.misstourismindonesia.com, Travel Club and in-flight Sriwijaya magazines.

Through a selection, the participants will be narrowed to 40 finalists, who will be quarantined starting from June 28 through July 5 at the Batavia Hotel, Jakarta.

“The grand final will be held on July 5,” El John Foundation chairman Johnnie Sugiarto was quoted by Antara as saying.
