The world’s leading and most discerning and trusted monthly travel magazine in Britain 'Condé Nast Traveller' has nominated Sri Lanka as one of the top five destinations to watch in year 2012. The travel experts of the magazine have predicted that Sri Lanka will be among the hottest new holiday destinations for travellers in the coming year.

Unveiling the list of destinations the magazine reveals that, “One of the great joys of travel is the feeling you've discovered somewhere special, somewhere that's all yours, for the first time - before the developers move in and the crowds descend. It could be a new and unexplored region, like the Arctic Circle, or an entire country that has been off-limits to tourists for political reasons, such as Sri Lanka and Burma.” Sri Lanka has been placed third in the list of destinations ahead of Britain, Australia and Abu-Dhabi .

This achievement is certainly a boost for Sri Lanka Tourism which has just recorded the highest ever arrivals to the country this year and targeting 2.5 million tourist by the year 2016. (Source: Sri Lanka Tourism)
