GUIDO WALTER MARIANI CONFIRMS HIS INTERNATIONAL VISION: MISS WOMAN INTERNATIONAL 2026 RETURNS TO TENERIFE

Aug 6

The upcoming edition of Miss Woman International is scheduled to take place on October 14, 2026, bringing the event back to the Canary Islands following its previous editions. The final proceedings will be held at the GF Victoria Hotel, situated in the Costa Adeje area near Playa del Duque. This location will serve as the gathering point for participants arriving from various countries, turning Tenerife into a central meeting place for the global fashion community during the week. The project, founded and organized by President Guido Walter Mariani (GWM), aims to integrate elements of entertainment, local tourism promotion, and international relations. Mariani's approach utilizes fashion as a medium to connect different cultures, emphasizing inclusion, dialogue, and economic opportunities for the host region. Rather than functioning solely as a traditional beauty competition, the event is structured as a cultural and social initiative that highlights the role of women as representatives of their respective cultures and shared values.

Guiding the scheduled events for the final evening will be two designated presenters. Esther Gomez is set to return for her second consecutive year as the primary host. Her background in television and steady public presence have made her a recognizable figure within the organization. Joining her on stage will be co-host Valeria Ammirato, a professional chosen for her reliable and balanced presentation style. Together, Gomez and Ammirato will manage the progression of the evening and coordinate the stage activities for the audience. The schedule for the week extends beyond the main runway event to include the GWM International Cup, an international beach volleyball tournament organized with a focus on peace. Supported by GIVOVA as the official technical sponsor, this athletic addition to the program is meant to illustrate how sports, similar to fashion, can be utilized to encourage cooperation, dialogue, and positive interactions between different nations.

The logistical execution of this comprehensive program relies on a structured network of partners and sponsors. Casa Faro has been selected as a primary hospitality partner and will host all official lunches for the duration of the event. This venue will act as a central meeting area for international delegations, institutional guests, the press, and the organizing committee, providing a space for networking and discussing future collaborations while showcasing the local culinary offerings of Tenerife. Maxeconel continues its involvement as the main strategic partner, aligning with the organization's long-term developmental objectives and providing ongoing support. The daily planning and delivery of the event are being managed in cooperation with Vita Insulae, which serves as the organizational partner alongside the main committee.

The realization of the project is also made possible through the backing of several main sponsors who have contributed to this year's edition. These include Maxym Luxury Vodka, ElixConquers, and MA Hotel, as well as WOW Pelle, which is responsible for supplying the official gifts provided to the contestants. The overall coordination of the 2026 edition has been significantly supported by the work of Alfredo Mariani, the National Director for Italy. Working in direct collaboration with President Guido Walter Mariani, his daily administrative and organizational efforts have been a key factor in preparing the current edition and maintaining its operational standards. As the October date approaches, the organizing committee and President Mariani remain focused on delivering a program that uses the framework of a fashion event to support cultural exchange, athletic engagement, and international cooperation.
