32 Miss Mexico Earth delegates in Belize

If you were on the northern highway this morning, you would have seen traffic come to a halt.  That’s because a lineup of beauties from Mexico were guests of the City. Thirty-two Miss Earth delegates from Mexico dropped by for a day of activities in the city. The bevy of beauties and their chaperones gathered at the Flag Monument for a ceremony along with the local beauty queens and the Belize City Council official. Mayor Zenaida Moya says that the visit by the Mexican delegation is good for Belize.

“Through our sister city relationship we were able to get the contestants, all thirty-two contestants representing the thirty two states of Mexico which as you know has a population of over a hundred and eleven million persons. And we felt that by bringing these ladies here they will also be ambassadors as well for Belize because they will know where Belize is, they’ll know a little bit about Belize, they would’ve met some Belizeans, they would’ve received a warm welcome from Belizeans. And so we ask them through the sister city relationship that we are trying to ensure grows in the area of eco-tourism, archaeological tourism, heritage tourism, to foster more economic business investment and of course cultural exchanges between our two municipality of Belize City and Othon P Blanco. We felt that as in the area of Miss Earth Belize that it’s very key that Belize is promoting eco-tourism and we are doing our best to try and preserve our natural heritage, preserve you know our little part of mother earth right here we have a lot to offer in regards to the environment and biodiversity.”

Miss Earth Mexico will be selected from among the thirty-two delegates on Sunday. The Miss Earth Pageant is set to take place in November in Thailand where Kimberly Robateau will represent Belize.
