Two beauties triumphantly came back to Kazan from Bansko, Bulgaria. Margarita Pavlushina won the Miss International Tourism 2013 international competition’s Grand Prix.

The 22-year Kazan Technology University graduate, Pavlushina, holds the title of a Miss Kazan 2006 and is a model with the local Larisa model agency.

The main purpose of Miss International Tourism is to promote tourism, increase relations between the nations and promote touristic, cultural and historical sights of the country that hosts the competition, N. Kiseleve commented.

Margarita Pavlushina both created a stir within the competition and took part in a popular local TV talk show, in which she spoke of her native Kazan, upcoming Universiade and role of tourism for the region.
