Logistics base of Miss Progress International 2014 will be the magnificent Hotel Messapia of Santa Maria di Leuca which will host the contestants and the coronation ceremony of Saturday, May 17, broadcasted around the world via the web.

“The novelty of this year – says Giusy Nobile, president of the association – concerns the allocation of the sash dedicated to the cultural integration. Since developing a specific project on that topic is very complex, we prefer that they will be the contestants themselves to choose the girl who best embodies the concept of brotherhood and sharing of customs, religions and traditions, so different from each other.”.
