Host city

Following the 1992 event, local hoteliers signalled that they may no longer be able to furnish free accommodation for the contestants for the 1993 pageant. Although the Tourism Commission was contracted to host the pageant until 1994, they considered getting out of the contract because of the increased cost of paying for the rooms.[9]

The pageant went ahead in Biloxi as planned, and it was estimated that the region benefitted by $1 million for hosting the event.[3]
