The Miss Earth organization in September 2024 announced that the Philippines will be hosting Miss Earth 2024. The coronation night is to be held on November 9, 2024 at the Okada Manila in Parañaque, Metro Manila while pre-pageant activities started on October. The theme for the pageant is "HERITAGE", with the organizers aiming to promote the eco-tourism destinations of the host country and heritage of its contestants.[3]

Selection of participants

This edition will mark the debut of Algeria and the United Arab Emirates and will also feature the returns of El Salvador, which last competed in 2015; Samoa in 2018; Fiji in 2019; Costa Rica and Iceland in 2020; Italy in 2021;[4] and others last competed in 2022.

15 countries withdrew after their respective organizations failed to hold a national competition, while Bosnia and Herzegovina's Hena Mašović and Croatia's Lana Vuković withdrew due of Visa problems.

Pre-pageant activities

The delegates were expected to arrive in the Philippines from October 19 to 21.
