The nationwide search is on for Miss Tourism Philippines 2016, according to Miss Tourism Philippines (MTP) president Amelia Sunio-Abarquez, a businesswoman and philanthropist based in California.
Just recently, MTP signed a contract with ABS-CBN Head of Sales Ronnie Merino for the airing of MTP Coronation Rites on June 5.
The winner of Miss Tourism Philippines 2016 and the special awardees (Miss Tourism World and Miss Tourism Universe) will be crowned in March at Resorts World Manila, with MTP founding chairman Francisco Gareth Z. Blanco as director.
The annual MTP search is in partnership with Local Government Units (LGU) fielding their own candidates. “Our target is to have no less than 50 candidates,” Abarquez said. “Our aim is to promote Philippine tourism locally and internationally, this is our advocacy.” Last year, Abarquez co-produced MTP but this year she has registered the tourism search as Miss Tourism Philippines, Inc.
