The Miss International 2009 pageant will be held at the Sichuan International Tennis Hotel, Chengdu, Sichuan, China on November 28, 2009. This will be the 49th Miss International pageant.
The pageant was previously planned to take place at the The Venetian Macao in Macau on November 7, 2009, but due to certain circumstances, the host committee cancelled it.
There will be 71 contestants participating in this event and the current Miss International Alejandra Andreu of Spain will crown her successor.
Unlike the Miss World 2009 pageant which has 120 contestants, the Miss International pageant is a much smaller pageant and this gives all the contestants a better chance to win a contest, if not the crown.
With the pageant just a few days away, there are a few contestants who have already emerged as favorites for the Miss International 2009 crown – like Miss Venezuela, Miss India, Miss Mexico, Miss Brazil, Miss Philippines, Miss Panama, Miss USA, Miss Canada, Miss Slovak Republic and Miss France.
