Why does the Miss Universe has fewer number of contestants, like 30+ less contestants, than the Miss World?

Miss World is a bit classier and not only focuses on sex appeal but beauty, brains and potential social impact and this more countries are more likely to send representatives there than Miss Universe that is seen as more of a Victoria secret type of pageant.

No and no.
Yes, Miss World is perceived as more of the classier pageant, but it's also seen as the more boring one, but that's not why Miss World receives more contestants. It is because the price to buy the Miss Universe franchise for each country is a lot more expensive than the other beauty pageants. Miss Universe is still the Super Bowl of beauty pageants. Then it would be Miss World, then finally Miss Earth and Miss International rounding out the "Big 4 Pageants."
I know waaaay too much about this
