The Miss Tiffany Universe contest was launched in 1998 in tandem with the government's Amazing Thailand Year, a publicity campaign that emphasised the country's unique tourist attractions.
1998年泰國政府舉辦了“驚豔泰國年”運動，以彰顯泰國的獨特旅遊特色和引人入勝的風土人情，並隨後舉辦了第一屆蒂凡尼變性人選美大賽。

It was also aimed at creating a positive image for transgender people, who struggle to find jobs outside of the entertainment and tourism industries.
蒂凡尼變性人選美大賽也意在塑造變性人的良好形象，而變性人這一羣體目前除了從事娛樂和旅遊業工作外、很難找到其他工作。
