Perhaps because nobody else cares anymore? Miss World is a mostly ignored anachronism in most of the world. It passes almost unnoticed as a slightly embarrassing relic of a bygone era.

Perfect for Bali, then...

First you said there were no kuta cowboys in Bali. Then you tried to arrest the filmmaker who interviewed them. Now you want unmarried people who want to be intimate to come to Bali? Jeez... Make up your mind. Dez is correct... another example of Indonesia's split personality.

Its a good news, isn't it?? we just need a concern from Indo government to take care, maintainance & improve for every facility in Bali to be further improved so that feasible to be host of international events.

To DrDez: well, u are soooo right!! they already make a 'drama'/'scenario' (maybe)!

Denpasar. Some of the world’s most gorgeous women are set to grace Bali after the resort island was selected to host the Miss World beauty pageant in 2014.

Bali Governor Made Mangku Pastika, speaking in Denpasar on Thursday, said organizers had confirmed that Bali would host the event.

Pastika said Bali’s natural beauty and unique culture were major factors in the island being selected as the venue for the international occasion.

“This will ensure Bali is even better known around the world,” he said.

Pastika said that after the filming of “Eat Pray Love” starring Julia Roberts and Javier Bardem in Bali, the island had a new nickname — “The Island of Love.”

He urged tourists seeking more intimacy in their lives to visit Bali.

“For those who have been married for a number of years and want to reinvigorate their love, or for who have not married and want to be intimate, Bali is the best place.”

The governor said new infrastructure was on the way, including an airport expansion and road upgrades.

Bali also plays host to an Asean summit later this year and the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in November 2013.

“We do not want to disappoint them all,” Pastika said.
