=== Location and date === Several cities from across the world had expressed interest to host the pageant. Among these cities that bid to host the pageant is [[Zagreb]], Croatia which previously dropped its bid to host the pageant in [[Miss Universe 2009|2009]]. The Croatian government and local investors renewed their proposal for the pageant, which would take place at the [[Arena Zagreb]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=30 November 2009 |title=Izbor za Miss Universe: Trump se nećka između Splita i Zagreba |url=https://www.index.hr/clanak.aspx?id=462733 |access-date=22 June 2022 |website=[[Index.hr]] |language=hr |archive-date=20 November 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231120090055/https://www.index.hr/magazin/clanak/izbor-za-miss-universe-trump-se-necka-izmedju-splita-i-zagreba/462733.aspx |url-status=live }}</ref> However, on February 20, 2010, the national director of [[Miss Universe Croatia]] Vladimir Krajelvic announced that the country withdrew its bid to host the contest due to the impacts in Croatia from the [[2008 financial crisis]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=20 February 2010 |title=Miss Universe: Recesija pomutila planove direkciji izbora ljepote |url=https://www.index.hr/clanak.aspx?id=476874 |access-date=22 June 2022 |website=[[Index.hr]] |language=hr |archive-date=20 November 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231120090952/https://ow.pubmatic.com/setuid?bidder=amx&uid=499c3f5c-d1aa-42ef-82e2-92fd1db5e7d7&do=www.index.hr |url-status=live }}</ref>
On January 31, 2010, the Miss Universe Organization was in talks to host the 2010 edition of the competition in [[Santa Cruz de la Sierra]] in Bolivia after the Miss Universe commission visited Bolivia to evaluate if the city is capable to host the pageant.<ref>{{Cite web |date=1 February 2010 |title=Comisión del Miss Universo se quedara en Bolivia el lapso de cuatro semanas para concluir su evalución |url=http://www.la-razon.com/ultima.asp?id=946988 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100211153309/http://www.la-razon.com/ultima.asp?id=946988 |archive-date=11 February 2010 |access-date=22 June 2022 |website=[[La Razón (La Paz)|La Razón]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=4 February 2010 |title=Sede del Miss Universo ¿En Bolivia? |url=https://www.laprensa.hn/espectaculos/sede-del-miss-universo-en-bolivia-NALP504339 |access-date=22 June 2022 |website=[[La Prensa (Honduras)|La Prensa]] |language=es-HN |archive-date=15 October 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231015072236/https://www.laprensa.hn/espectaculos/sede-del-miss-universo-en-bolivia-NALP504339 |url-status=live }}</ref> However, during the visit of the commission in Bolivia, Minister of Culture [[Zulma Yugar]] publicly admitted the difficulties in hosting the pageant in line with the organization's demands. After a meeting held in [[La Paz]] in March 2010, Yugar formally announced that Santa Cruz withdrew its bid to host the pageant, alleging that the organization "disrespected the Constitution of Bolivia" and that the demands of the organization are financially impossible to attain.<ref>{{Cite web |date=13 March 2010 |title=La comisión de negociación estuvo reunida dos días en La Paz |url=https://www.lostiempos.com/click/farandula/farandula/20100313/la-comision-de-negociacion-estuvo-reunida-dos-dias-en-la_61389_111021.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100316075611/https://www.lostiempos.com/click/farandula/farandula/20100313/la-comision-de-negociacion-estuvo-reunida-dos-dias-en-la_61389_111021.html |archive-date=16 March 2010 |access-date=22 June 2022 |website=[[Los Tiempos]]}}</ref>
