It is fitting that Samoa will host this year’s Miss Pacific Islands Pageant, since the Samoan Government established and hosted the Pacific’s first ever Pageant 30 years ago.
Established as the Miss South Pacific Islands Pageant in 1987, the pageant was officially renamed and re- launched in 2014 as the ‘Miss Pacific Islands Pageant’ in order to reflect on the broader Pacific region.
Samoa will host this year’s Pageant from Sunday 27th November to Friday 2rd December, with the
Pageant night to be held on Friday 2nd December at 7pm at Gym 1 in Tuanaimato.
The annual event has come a long way in recognising and promoting the attributes, intelligence and talents of young Pacific Island ladies, as is reflected in this year’s Pageant Theme - ‘Celebrating our History and Embracing our Future’.
The Samoa Tourism Authority as the Secretariat of the Pageant, is finalising its preparations and is ready to put on a great show which will conclude its activities for Visit Samoa Year 2016.
Eight Pacific Island beauties from American Samoa, Cook Islands, Fiji, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tonga and Samoa will compete in this year’s Pageant. Reigning Miss Pacific Islands, Miss Abigail Havora who won the first title for Papua New Guinea will crown this year’s winner.
The Pageant continues to give recognition to young Pacific Island ladies and their contributions to regional affairs and their ability to advance in diverse fields. It is an event that uniquely promotes the region and its holiday destinations and brings together young ladies from all sectors for the purpose of promoting and attracting worldwide attention to their unique attributes.
Corporate Tables and General Admission Tickets for the Event will be on sale beginning Monday, 21st
November 2016 at the (STA) Visitor Information Centre in Apia.
