Sri Lanka’s pristine beaches and lush green mountains were used to be the main attractions for international travellers, however, this time round it is the commercial capital of Colombo that is recommended by CNN Travel.

In the segment ‘Unlocking the World’, CNN Travel has placed the city of Colombo in its list of must travel destinations this year.

Recommending Sri Lanka to tourists under the ‘Where to travel 2022: The best destinations to visit’, CNN Travel described Colombo as a city that is “usually misunderstood from the beginning”.

"It's time to pay attention to the city's underrated design destinations," said CNN Travel while calling holiday makers to add Colombo to their travel list in 2022.

Do Americans really prefer to visit Colombo instead of beautiful Rome, Paris, Amsterdam, New York, Capetown, Melbourne etc. It must be people who have seen the whole world already.

Why not. The sea side capital of the indian ocean is an older city than the New York.

When they see the power cuts, queues for gas, milk powder, rice, kerosine, etc. and people being lynched and killed for stealing a cake of soap, they would hop into the next available flight.
