[edit] History

The tour was her first long-running tour compared to her previous tours, the Daydream World Tour and the Music Box Tour. Mariah claimed it was her favorite tour because it helped promoting her own favorite album, released in 1997. During this tour, Carey visited Hawaii and Australia for the first time and Asia for the second time.

Performance selections from the tour were released on Carey's 1999 Around the World DVD, although often in shortened and heavily edited versions.
