Troy Barbagallo, the new director of the national franchise of Miss Universe in the country has already placed a bid with IMG owner to host the next two editions of the beauty pageant in Australia.

Troy Barbagallo was quoted saying, “I have already put in a bid on behalf of Australia to host the international final back-to-back in both 2017 and 2018 and they have shown a lot of interest in us.” The national director says that if Australia is selected to host the pageant, state government of Victoria may be ready to offer support for the endeavour.

“The cost of putting on an event like the Grand Prix or the Olympics, in terms of infrastructure, is massive compared to Miss Universe and yet you get similar exposure to the world,” says Troy, continuing, “In terms of visibility through television and social media, Miss Universe would showcase Melbourne just as much as events like the Grand Prix.”

Well, let’s see where the next two Miss Universe pageants are held, but right now there is no denying that we are excited about the Miss Universe 2016 which is just a month away!
