Surpassing representatives of 21 countries and territories, Van Pham was named in the highest position in the final night held in the coastal city of Hua Hin, Thailand.
This year's contest gathers contestants who not only compete in beauty but also participate in many cultural and tourism promotion activities, international exchanges and community-oriented programs. Throughout the competition journey, the Vietnamese representative impressed with her confident demeanor, good communication skills and positivity in charity activities.
In addition to the prestigious crown, Van Pham was also awarded the Charity Queen 2026 title - an award for contestants with outstanding contributions to community activities. This is considered one of the important categories of the contest, reflecting the criteria of honoring beauty associated with social responsibility.
Sharing after the coronation night, Van Pham said she was touched when her name was announced in both of the most important categories. According to the beauty, the crown is a great pride, but the Charity Queen title has special meaning because it is also a value she always pursues in life.
I am very happy that the efforts in community activities are recognized. This is not only joy but also motivation for me to continue to spread positive things to more people," she shared.
According to Van Pham, modern beauty contests increasingly emphasize social responsibility, the ability to inspire and create value for the community alongside physical beauty. The beauty affirmed that she will continue to participate in charity activities, and at the same time promote the image of confident and compassionate Vietnamese women to international friends.
2026 marks the sixth season of the competition and is also the first time the world finals are held in Hua Hin. In nearly two weeks of the event, contestants participated in many cultural and local tourism experiences, talent shows and international exchanges.
According to the final results, in addition to the highest title belonging to Vietnam, the title Mrs. Global Tourism Queen was awarded to the Cambodian representative. The runner-up positions respectively belonged to the Philippines, New Zealand, Taiwan (China) and Russia.
