You’d have to be around these girls to know that everyone was a winner because everyone of the 51 tourism Queens had their country and tourism at heart".In the end Ghana made the top 15 and was crowned Miss Tourism World Africa for the continental Queens. The journey was always about Ghana and I’m grateful to have brought something home, she added.Ms. Geraldine also made it to the top 15 of the entire Miss Tourism World Contest.
