=== Location and date === In September 2002, the Miss Bahamas Universe Organization announced that the Bahamas is tentatively set to host the pageant.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Rolle |first=Anita |date=15 September 2002 |title=Pageant Will Showcase Island Beauties |pages=17 |work=The Abaconian |url=https://dloc.com/UF00093713/00314/pdf |access-date=23 August 2023 |via=[[Digital Library of the Caribbean]] |archive-date=23 August 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230823012226/https://dloc.com/UF00093713/00314/pdf |url-status=live }}</ref> However, plans to host the pageant did not materialize, and the Bahamas hosted the pageant in [[Miss Universe 2009|2009]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=4 March 2009 |title=The Bahamas to play host to the 58th Miss Universe Pageant August 25th Live on NBC |url=http://www.thebahamasweekly.com/publish/international/The_Bahamas_to_play_host_to_the_2009_Miss_Universe_Pageant5693.shtml |access-date=27 June 2022 |website=The Bahamas Weekly |archive-date=27 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220627035324/http://www.thebahamasweekly.com/publish/international/The_Bahamas_to_play_host_to_the_2009_Miss_Universe_Pageant5693.shtml |url-status=live }}</ref>

[[Quito]], [[Ecuador]] was announced as host city of the pageant on 19 August 2003. The city paid $5 million for the right to host the event, although it anticipated recouping this through visitors and promotion of the country during the televised competition.<ref>{{cite news |date=2003-08-19 |title=Ecuador picked to host 2004 Miss Universe pageant |publisher=Reuters News}}</ref>

In March, Ecuador's foreign trade minister was forced to reject rumours that the pageant was at risk of being moved to [[China]], and he urged Ecuadorians to back the pageant.<ref>{{cite news |date=2004-03-23 |title=Minister scolds Ecuadoreans for not being excited about Miss Universe |agency=Associated Press}}</ref> As an added incentive for tourists, American Airlines, official airline sponsor of the pageant, offered 5% off airfares to Quito for travel to the pageant, as well as 10% off for those who booked a month in advance.<ref>{{cite press release |publisher=American Airlines |date=2004-04-07 |title=Enjoy the sights and sounds of the Miss Universe pageant in Ecuador thanks to discounts offered by American Airlines Take Advantage of a Bonus Discount When Booking the Trip 30 Days in Advance}}</ref> The attempted use of the pageant to promote Ecuador threatened to be derailed just prior to the telecast, when a corruption scandal led to growing demands for the removal of President [[Lucio Gutierrez]] in the politically unstable country.<ref>{{cite news |last=Hayes |first=Monty |date=2004-05-31 |title=Ecuador looks to Miss Universe pageant to improve image tainted by political crisis |agency=Associated Press}}</ref>

Prior to the arrival of delegates in early May, officials in Quito attempted to renovate areas where they would be visiting, which involved temporarily removing beggars and homeless people from certain areas of the city.<ref>{{cite news |date=2004-05-12 |title=Quito primps for Miss Universe pageant by clearing out beggars |publisher=EFE News Service}}</ref> The event was protested by native Indian activists and environmentalists who accused the government of concealing the nations poverty whilst the pageant was being hosted.<ref>{{cite news |date=2004-05-31 |title=Activists say poor Ecuador no place for Miss Universe contest |publisher=EFE News Service}}</ref>

The delegates, judges, media and tourists were heavily protected by a security detail involving over 5000 police officers.<ref>{{cite news |date=2004-05-31 |title=Ecuador to assign 5,250 police to safeguard Miss Universe pageant |agency=Associated Press}}</ref> On 16 May, just hours before delegates were expected to participate in a parade in Cuenca, a pamphlet bomb was deactivated by police. Although it was protesting the economic policies of the Ecuadorian government, police suspected that the bomb, found just six blocks from the parade route, was timed specifically to coincide with the event.<ref>{{cite news |date=2004-05-16 |title=Police deactivate pamphlet bomb in Ecuador town hosting Miss Universe parade |agency=Associated Press}}</ref>

=== Selection of participants === Contestants from eighty countries and territories were selected to compete in the pageant. Two delegates were appointees to their position to replace the original dethroned winner.

Maria José Girol Jimenez was set to compete at Miss Universe. However, Jimenez withdrew due to the lack of sponsorship. Dian Krishna, Puteri Indonesia 2003, was welcomed by the pageant organizers and was given the chance to attend the show in the audience as an observer. [[Ragnhildur Steinunn Jónsdóttir]] of Iceland was also set to compete at Miss Universe, but withdrew due to undisclosed reasons.
