The main aim of the Miss
Tourism beauty pageant is to
promote the tourism and culture
of the country it is held in each
year.
Each year, there is a new host
country, and this year is yet to
be confirmed.
Miss Tourism helps these nations
to attract domestic and
international visitors and
investors.
Jade will be an amazing
Tourism Ambassador for New
Zealand and will showcase her
country through videos and
appearances. She will promote
what New Zealand offers as an
exciting travel destination.
Aspiring actress
Jade is 24 years old, an aspiring
actress and an experienced
dressage rider with her
own horses. She is an only child
who is thankful to her supportive
family who always encourage
her.
Not only is she now a beauty
queen with her own crown and
sash, but also holds many other
titles. Jade has won Top 5 at
Arab Showing Nationals, is the
Regional Auckland Young Rider
Dressage Champion and the
Senior West Auckland Rider at
Pony Club.
Always working harder to better
herself and reach her goals,
nothing can stop Jade!
Sponsoring children
She now sponsors two children
through Variety - 'The
Children's Charity' and has
worked hard to organise amazing
fundraisers to collect money
for charity. Her efforts will
help these two young Kiwi children
through Variety New
Zealand's - Kiwi Kid Sponsorship
Programme, and these funds
will provide for their school
books, clothing, bedding and
more.
“I would like to inspire and
encourage others to embrace
who they are for their uniqueness
and individuality. Because
I know that once I did that so
many doors and opportunities
opened for me. I believe that
when someone is true to themselves
and has confidence in
who they are, then they have the
power to achieve anything they
want in life. I would also like to
continue to do charity work as
I find it very rewarding,” Jade
said.
When Jade is not riding a
horse or practicing her catwalk
with choreographer Georgette
Jackson, she is on the set as
an extra, and features in New
Zealand Television shows.
We know big things are to
come for this beautiful blonde
with a passion for helping
others.

Manager Georgette Jackson

We know that she will do New
Zealand proud.
