Punta Cana.– Eden Real Arena, a luxurious resort in Punta Cana, hosted the oficial photo shoot for the upcoming beauty contest Miss Turismo Dominicana 2008, where 18 contestants will compete for the crown and the interesting prices offered by the sponsors.
As part of the sponsorship agreement for the beauty contest, the Marketing and Sales Department of the hotel will award a special prize to the winner of the Miss Eden Real Arena title.
Thye award will enable the winner to be the image of the hotel during a whole year and will offer her the possibility of participating in the most important tourist promotion events in the country.

Got it, but be honest, most of the women down there are expecting that their beauty will bring them a millionaire for a husband, and that she would be cater to hand and foot, if not, then how come these poor souls are so arrogant with most of the time NOTHING TO OFFER. I interact with them baffled and keep my mouth shut, its pointless.
they need a reality check.
We are empowered I will give you that. but not enough to say that we are known for our brains.
Instead we are looked upon as focus on image rather than substance

Got it!
Unfortunately, most people focus on the features not the substance, in other words, why dont they promote the intellect of women and encourage the same to advance the needs of the country. Ex: environmental issues, moral issues, support for advancement in technologies.

Unfortunately most corporations are dedicated primarily to the ethic of minimizing costs and maximizing revenues ..
