I would like to tell you history about the Miss Universe Contest and here it is :

Satellite developments in the 1970s allowed the MISS UNIVERSE® competition to travel outside the United States ( USA ), and in 1972, via satellite, for the first time from the Cerromar Beach Hotel in Dorado, Puerto Rico. That event inaugurated a series of annual television specials, which presented the culture and attractions of some of the most spectacular regions of the world to an international audience of hundreds of millions of people. From Puerto Rico, the competition traveled to these exciting locations:

• Nha Trang, Vietnam (2008)
