Josie Nicholas

The South Pacific Tourism Organisation (SPTO) sponsored Josie Nicholas as the representative of the Pacific Region to join the SPTO team for the 2023 Seatrade Cruise Global event that was held at the Broward County Convention Centre in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in March 2023.

Josie expressed her gratitude towards SPTO for supporting her platform and providing her with the opportunity to represent her amazing Pacific in the United States.

The theme for the network was ‘An Influential Woman is a Woman of substance’ and Miss Nicholas who spoke about how she sees a woman of substance.

“I’d like to break down this theme into my own understanding with three main characters. Introspective, empathic and faithful. This is how I see a woman of substance.

After three years, the Miss Pacific Islands pageant 2023 is back and commences on Sunday 29th – through to 4th February 2023. The topic for the pageant is ‘Strength in Unity’. 

Before Miss PNG’s departure, her family hosted a luncheon to officially hand her over to the Miss Pacific Islands Pageant Papua New Guinea to contest the Miss Pacific Islands Crown and complete her 12-month reign.

As Miss Relaxo she received a cheque of K25,000 from her sponsor towards her Miss PNG Pacific Islands journey for 2021.

Passionate about entrepreneurship and hoping to be financially independent one day, Ms Nicholas, from Central Province is the latest entrant in the Miss PNG Pacific Islands Pageant.

She said: “I thank Relaxo for the opportunity to be part of the MPIP and for supporting me. I am happy to represent the brand Relaxo.
