'''Miss World 2010''' was the 60th anniversary of the [[Miss World]] pageant, held at the [[Crown of Beauty Theatre]] in [[Sanya]], China, on 30 October 2010, after Vietnam backed out of the hosting contract.
[[Kaiane Aldorino]] of [[Gibraltar]] crowned [[Alexandria Mills]] of the [[United States]] as her successor at the end of the event. This is the third time United States has won the title.
== Background == === Vietnam backed out === On 8 June 2009, Mr. Hoang Kieu (RAAS Group Chairperson) and Mrs. Morley publicly agreed on [[Nha Trang]] as host for Miss World 2010.
According to a manager of the Tien Giang Tourism JS Company, RAAS bought 31 hectares in total to build a tourism site for Miss World 2010, which led to a public debate about some national ecological reserves being devastated and people having to leave their homes due to increasing living costs.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://tintuconline.vietnamnet.vn/vn/print/vanhoa/413900/index.html|archiveurl=https://archive.today/20091031184637/http://tintuconline.vietnamnet.vn/vn/print/vanhoa/413900/index.html|url-status=dead|title=VietnamNet – "Hoa hậu" và những dự án đất|archivedate=31 October 2009}}</ref>
On 28 January 2010, RAAS told Khanh Hoa People's Committee office to announce that they were no longer organising the event without an official explanation on the debate. Khanh Hoa Province then decided to host Miss World with new sponsors. RAAS would return as the main sponsor if another province was assigned as host.<ref name="VNE-1">[http://vnexpress.net/GL/Van-hoa/2010/01/3BA1853B/ VnExpress – RAAS đơn phương rút khỏi Miss World 2010] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110220022341/http://vnexpress.net/GL/Van-hoa/2010/01/3BA1853B/ |date=20 February 2011 }}. Date: 28 January 2010. Retrieved 30 January 2010 {{in lang|vi}}</ref>
Finally on 2 April 2010, Deputy Prime Minister [[Nguyen Thien Nhan]] approved a proposal by the host province Khanh Hoa to back out of hosting Miss World.<ref>{{cite news |title=Vietnam won't hold Miss World 2010: Deputy PM |url=http://www.thanhniennews.com/2010/Pages/Vietnam-won%E2%80%99t-hold-Miss-World-2010.aspx |access-date=10 September 2020 |work=[[Thanh Niên|Thanh Niên News]] |date=3 April 2010 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120914080742/http://www.thanhniennews.com/2010/pages/vietnam-won%E2%80%99t-hold-miss-world-2010.aspx |archive-date=14 September 2012 |url-status=dead}}</ref>{{cbignore|bot=InternetArchiveBot}}
Although Miss World 2010 was held in [[Sanya]], China, RAAS Group was still in charge of the financial backing for the event. RAAS confirmed that Miss World would be back to [[Mỹ Tho]], [[Tien Giang Province]] later in 2011 or 2012.<ref name="beg off">[http://www.thanhnien.com.vn/News/Pages/201006/20100204224010.aspx Thanh Nien Online – "Khanh Hoa begged off Miss World 2010"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100206022942/http://www.thanhnien.com.vn/news/Pages/201006/20100204224010.aspx |date=6 February 2010 }} {{in lang|vi}}.</ref> However, according to many reliable newswire such as [[VnExpress]], there is no way for Miss World being organised in [[Tien Giang Province]] in 2011 or 2012 under the umbrella of RAAS because Mr. Hoang Kieu owed the landlords in the province, involved in the tourism project millions of dollars,<ref>{{cite web |title=Hoang Kieu owed Tien Giang peasants millions of dollars |url=http://2sao.vn/p1004c1006n20100519161149031/vu-ong-hoang-kieu-no-nong-dan-17-ty-dong-dai-gia-ho-vi-hoa-hau.vnn |website=2Sao |access-date=10 September 2020 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120709141125/http://2sao.vn/p1004c1006n20100519161149031/vu-ong-hoang-kieu-no-nong-dan-17-ty-dong-dai-gia-ho-vi-hoa-hau.vnn |archive-date=9 July 2012 |language=vi |date=19 May 2010 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
