Miss Universe 1977
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Miss Universe 1977 was held at National Palace, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic on July 16, 1977. Janelle Commissiong earned Trinidad & Tobago's first Miss Universe crown.
The Miss Universe Pageant was held in the Dominican Republic in 1977 in order to promote tourism to this island.
Miss Universe was owned then by Gulf+Western Industries an American conglomerate which had large investments in the Dominican Republic such as The Central Romana sugar mill, the Casa de Campo resort, free trade zone, Consolidated Cigars among others.
The late Charles Bluhdorn, G+W's chairman had big projects for the Dominican Republic, a country he loved very much and for which he had many big projects in the future, specifically Altos de Chavon an artists village located within the Casa de Campo complex.
Holding Miss Universe, with an estimated 200 million viewers TV audience, was the perfect vehicle for boosting the Dominican tourist sector.
