Miss Tourism Indonesia 2015 Dikna Faradiba, the national director of Miss Grand Indonesia 2018, expressed how she hopes of good times in the future, “When I first held the license I could not believe it. From here I can show that the younger generation can bring many good things for the country. Youth is no obstacle.”
Since Miss Grand International pageant’s inception in 2013, Indonesia has proved that it has a great potential with Ariska Putri Pertiwi winning the coveted title in 2016. With her perfect reign, a lot is expected from the queens of Indonesia and now that a separate pageant will be conducted in Indonesia to choose the representative for Miss Grand International 2018, it is likely that this year Indonesia will once again have a good run in this international pageant.
