Commenting on the title received at the Conde Nast 2021 Readers’ Choice Awards, Sri Lanka Tourism Chairperson Kimarli Fernando, said the increase in awareness has led to a renewed interest in Sri Lanka over the last few years.

“This significant advancement is a testament to the success of ongoing efforts to market the island as a unique, experiential destination, offering heady adventures and novel encounters. The ongoing integrated communication campaign by Sri Lanka Tourism, a first of its kind, is bringing tremendous returns in terms of raising the country’s overall profile globally,” Fernando said in a statement to the media.
