The 2026 edition brings together 30 contestants from 20 countries and territories, with activities in Lam Dong from September 10 to 20. The published schedule places the final on September 19 at Lam Vien Square in Da Lat.
Vo Minh Phung and Truong Hieu Thao represent Vietnam. Contestants will take part in fashion, talent and cultural activities, which organizers hope will introduce Vietnamese culture and destinations to international audiences.
Organizing committee head Quach Chau Anh Duy said an overseas edition would only be considered after the fifth season, planned for 2027. The invitations do not amount to a confirmed relocation.
