Brought entire world to Hyderabad...Miss World event has boosted tourism: Telangana Minister

Minister Jupally Krishna Rao credits Miss World 2025 for enhancing Hyderabad tourism and investment.

"We brought the entire world to Hyderabad. - Jupally Krishna Rao"

Hyderabad, June 3

Telangana Minister Jupally Krishna Rao has said that hosting the 72nd Miss World pageant in Hyderabad was a big step towards "promoting tourism" and attracting investments in the state.

The grand finale of Miss World 2025 took place on May 31 in Hyderabad. Thailand's Opal Suchata was crowned the winner, the first time Thailand had won the Miss World crown.

Rao said that the goal behind bringing the event to Hyderabad was to boost tourism and provide job opportunities to the youth.

"The very purpose of conducting this Miss World competition, Miss World 72... was to promote tourism. The promotion of tourism is meant to provide employment and self-employment to the unemployed youth, increase state revenue, and attract investments. So, we have succeeded in this endeavour, which was our total aim," Rao told ANI.

"We brought the entire world to Hyderabad. We were able to showcase Telangana tourism and promote Telangana across the world. We succeeded. So, we are thankful to everyone: the Miss World organization, the participants, our employees, our officers, and everyone else who participated in making this event a success. I am thankful to all and to our Chief Minister for bringing this event to Hyderabad," he added.

The 72nd edition of the global beauty pageant was a star-studded event and marked another proud moment for Thailand, as this was the country's first Miss World crown.

India's Nandini had made it to the Top 40 after a standout performance in the earlier rounds, where she was among the 18 contestants who 'fast-tracked' to this prestigious category. However, she could not make it to the final cut as the competition progressed.

Great to see Hyderabad getting global recognition! 👏 Events like these put Indian cities on the world map. Though I wish our contestant Nandini had gone further, the exposure for Telangana tourism is priceless. Hope this leads to more international events coming to India.

While I appreciate the tourism boost, I wonder if the money spent could have been used for better purposes like education or healthcare. Hyderabad already has good brand recognition globally. The event was glamorous no doubt, but was it worth the investment? Just thinking aloud...

As a Hyderabadi, I'm so proud! 💖 The entire city was buzzing with excitement. Our hospitality, biryani and pearls got global attention. The Charminar backdrop during the event was breathtaking. This will definitely bring more tourists - already getting calls from NRI friends planning visits!

Congratulations to Thailand's Opal! 🌸 While it's disappointing India didn't win, our girl Nandini made us proud by reaching Top 40. More importantly, the event showcased India's capability to host world-class events. Hope this leads to more opportunities for our youth in fashion and hospitality sectors.

The minister is right about tourism boost but let's not forget the traffic chaos during the event! 😅 Next time, better planning needed. That said, the global media coverage was excellent. Saw many foreign channels talking about Hyderabad's IT sector along with the pageant - that's smart branding.

While beauty pageants are controversial, one can't deny their marketing power. Hyderabad's pearls, IT sector, and heritage got free global publicity. Hope the promised jobs and investments materialize for local youth. The real test will be whether tourism numbers actually increase in coming months.
