Zhengzhou, CHINA - In one of the most impressive pageant productions of all times, Miss Peru, Silvia Cornejo, ended up crowned Miss Tourism Queen International 2008. SIlvia is the first woman from the American continent to win this Grand Slam title.
The 1st runner-up was the hometown girl, Miss China, Tong He; Miss Canada, Sahar Biniaz, was the 2nd runner-up; Miss Montenegro, Dasa Zivkovic, was the third runner-up; and finally, Miss Japan, Akemi Fukumura, was the 4th runner-up.
Rounding out the group of 20 semifinalists, in the order they ranked (sent by MTQI Organization), were the candidates from Puerto Rico (6), Chile (7), Belarus (8), Greece (9), Rwanda (10), Czech Republic (11), Sweden (12), Ukraine (13), Cuba (14), Thailand (15), Romania (16), Ghana (17), Bali (18), Australia (19) and Angola (20) .
A native of Trujillo, the new Miss Tourism Queen International has a large experience in beauty pageants: she won the Miss Teen Americas title back in 2005, and was crowned Miss Peru World in 2006. In Poland, where she participated in Miss World, she was not even a semi-finalist. Shortly after, she participated in the Miss South America pageant, in Bolivia, and was one of the 6 finalists.
Journalists and photographers covering the pageant could not understand the non-inclusion of Miss Chile, the massive favorite for the crown, in the 'top 5'. Several other press favorites were also "left in the ice", not even making it to the Top 20.
Miss Peru, nonetheless, performed well throughout the night and earned her place on the top of the chart deservingly so. Congratulations to Silvia Cornejo, Miss Tourism Queen International 2008!
