As part of activities marking the Year of Return, Ghana Tourism Authority will host Miss Heritage Global with The Multimedia Group as its exclusive media partner.

Miss Global scheduled for August 20, 2019, at the Accra International Conference Centre will feature 55 representatives from across the globe.

Brand Manager of Heritage Global, Mudzithe Phiri, told Joy News’ MzGee the contest will present Ghana an opportunity to sell its local business beyond the shores of Ghana. 

“We are very happy this is coming to Ghana. As part of the Year of Return, the country is on a very big drive to get as many people to come to Ghana,” he said.

He explained that the contestants will come with a delegation of people who are looking to do business in the country. 

Mr Phiri added that the pageant will also be an opportunity for people coming in and Ghanaians to also create a network of connections with each other.

“Ghana has many local brands, so it is also an opportunity for the local brands to allow the girls to experience the local brands to help sell the brands to the countries they come from,” he added.
