Philippine’s beauty Cyrille Payumo was crowned Miss Tourism International 2019-2020 last Friday, November 8. Payumo is the fifth Filipina to win the pageant after Jannie Loudette Alipo-on in 2017

The 22-year-old who also won the best national costume will now be realizing her dream of pursuing her studies in Mass Communications, as the pageant crown comes with a prize of a scholarship for a course of her choice at any LimKokWing University of Creative Technology, worldwide.

The four-year tertiary study sponsorship for Miss Tourism International 2019-2020 winners and runners-ups was formalized through a memorandum of understanding (MoU) inked between the university and Miss Tourism International at the university’s main campus on Nov 1.

This year’s competition, themed “Embracing Visit Truly Asia Malaysia 2020” was aimed at promoting Visit Malaysia Year 2020.
