File:Mwo2007.jpg

Miss World 2007 will be held in the Crown of Beauty Theater, Sanya, People's Republic of China on December 1,2007[1]. At an official press conference called on July 7, the Miss World organization announced that the delegates were expected in Sanya by November 2. They will visit a number of popular spots in mainland China and view the preparation for the 2008 Olympic Games. A total of 107 nations are attending the pageant, making it the largest edition, tied with Miss World 2004.

Unlike 2005 and 2006 editions, Miss World 2007 will not have continental zones in the selection of the semi-finalists i.e. all the contestants will vie for the 15 semifinals spots. Another 5 spots are for the winners of the Beach Beauty, Beauty With A Purpose, Sports, Talent and Top Model contests. The format is also similar to that used in Miss World 2004, with the exclusion of the Contestant's Choice award.
