Miss Tourism World is an annual international beauty pageant with two distinct organizations, one established in Great Britain in 1991 and another founded in China in 2009.

The current titleholder of Miss Tourism World 2025, a China-based pageant, is Karolina Piksa from Poland. She was crowned in Changde, China.

History Based in Great Britain Miss Tourism World was initially established as an international beauty pageant in 1991 in Great Britain. The organization was acquired by David Singh in 2008. Due to various factors, the pageant was not held in the following years: 1993, 1996, 1998–1999, 2004, 2006, 2008–2011, 2016–2017, and 2020–2021.

During the most recent edition of MTW, Erina Hanawa from Japan was crowned Miss Tourism World 2022 on 10 December in Vĩnh Phúc province, Vietnam. This makes her the second Japanese woman to win the title.

Based in China In 2009, the Miss Tourism Queen International pageant was established in China. Over the years, it has undergone several name changes, including Miss Tourism Queen of the Year International (2011–2010), Miss City Tourism Champion (2016), Miss Tourism World - Global (2017–2019, 2023), and Miss Tourism World - Intercontinental (2019).

The most recent competition, Miss Tourism World - Global 2025, was held in Changde, China, on 2 October. The title of Miss Tourism World - Global 2025 was awarded to Karolina Piksa from the Poland.

Background Miss Tourism and the Miss Tourism World Tour hold annual competitions to promote global tourism. The Miss Tourism World Organization brings together contestants and titleholders from various countries in a selected host nation to participate in Miss Tourism World, a well-established pageant centred on tourism. Contestants produce tourism videos, showcased during the final event, to spotlight destinations and encourage tourism.

The Miss Tourism World Organization's primary goal is to promote tourism through its participants. It offers international visibility for the host country, aiming to attract tourists, boost foreign revenue, and support local communities by presenting the country as a travel destination.

Format The Miss Tourism World pageant includes titles such as Miss Tourism World Africa, Asia, Americas, Europe, and Oceania. These continental titles provide a platform for host countries to present their cultural and tourism concepts to a broader audience, including the youth.

Contestants participate in segments such as evening gown, swimsuit, and national costume presentations. The Miss Tourism World pageant has been hosted across four continents, allowing participants to compete for both the overall title and their respective continental crowns. The national costume segment is mandatory, with the Best National Costume Award presented to one contestant during the finale.
