Global Glamour Showcases Telangana’s Heritage
Telangana Hosts Miss World 2025: A Global Celebration of Culture, Beauty, and Tourism: For the first time ever, Telangana is hosting the 72nd edition of the Miss World pageant, bringing global attention to its rich culture, heritage, and tourism potential. Held from May 10 to 31, 2025, the international event is set in Hyderabad, with over 120 contestants from across the world participating. With a broadcast footprint spanning more than 150 countries, the pageant is providing Telangana with a powerful platform to promote itself as a premier tourism and investment destination.
Promoting Tourism Through Cultural Heritage
The Telangana government is leveraging the global spotlight of Miss World 2025 to highlight its tourism ecosystem, aiming to significantly boost foreign tourist inflow, which stood at 1.55 lakh in 2024. Contestants will visit prominent sites like the UNESCO-listed Ramappa Temple in Warangal, Hyderabad’s royal palaces, and eco-tourism destinations, offering a glimpse into the state’s spiritual and architectural richness. This aligns with Telangana’s broader strategy of promoting heritage-driven tourism.
Economic Gains and International Exposure
By hosting this prestigious event, Telangana is enhancing its global visibility and attracting potential foreign investments in sectors such as hospitality, culture, and infrastructure. The Miss World pageant acts as a soft power platform, positioning Telangana—and India more broadly—as a modern, welcoming, and inclusive location. The extensive international media coverage is expected to translate into increased tourism revenue, strategic global partnerships, and stronger international branding of the state’s unique assets.
High-Level Security and Event Coordination
To ensure the safety and success of the pageant, Telangana’s Director General of Police, Jitender, has announced comprehensive security arrangements, including round-the-clock monitoring, special protection units, and coordination with tourism and hospitality services.
