KAIETEUR News carried an article that the Miss Guyana World Pageant 2014 was an epic failure, and Frank Fyffe had his contribution published in the Stabroek News last Saturday, June 28, 2014, ‘The Behaviour at the Miss Guyana World Pageant reflects what we live today’.In all fairness to the organising committee of the event, perhaps a press briefing/forum might be an ideal avenue that should be considered.

This is very important, because failing to address these pressing issues could see less support for this event from all angles, come 2015.

Many might say that it is not important, and we don’t owe anyone an explanation; but, at the end of the day, it makes it much tougher to market Guyana to the globe from a tourism perspective.

A thought came to mind after reading all the reports, and it could possibly end all pageant controversies in Guyana (the serious pageants).
Why not have both Miss Guyana Universe and Miss Guyana World Pageants for 2015 with delegates only of Afro-Guyanese nationals; and for 2016, only Indo-Guyanese nationals; and keep that pattern onwards. In that case, I believe Guyana will witness better behaved supporters and a balance of ethnicity to the Misses Universe and World pageants.
