Miss World Asia Pacific
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Miss World Asia Pacific is a title given to a top 6 finalist for Miss World. The winner of this award comes from The Asia Pacific and automatically makes the top 6. This award has only been given for 2 years, since The Miss World Organization had a new system in 2005 (separating all the delegates into 6 groups, including Asia Pacific). This award was used to be called Queen Of Asia And Oceanic. Last year's winner was Eun Young Oh, who was succeeded on September 30 by Miss Australia, Sabrina Houssami.
