Other notes
Host cityNicosia was announced as host city of the pageant on 1 July 1999.[7] The country invested $3.5 million in the event, in the hope that the publicity would increase tourism, the island's main industry.[8] Conservative Cypriot church leaders protested the decision to hold the pageant on the island, claiming that millennium celebrations of the birth of Christ were more important and that the event was scandalous and would promote female nudity.[9] General references
