Conde Nast Traveller, included Sri Lanka in 9th place along with 9 other countries as ‘The Top 10 Friendliest Countries in the World ‘’ for 2022. According to its Readers’ Choice Awards, the list includes Philippines, Sri Lanka, Belize, Peru, Botswana, Costa Rica, Thailand, New Zealand, Colombia and French Polynesia in 1st place.
A part of Conde Nast Traveller’s quote, Sri Lanka was read as, “From children to the elderly, the people of Sri Lanka are known for their love of visitors, and genuine desire to help. On the south coast, set sail on a whale watching expedition in Mirissa, shop the colourful boutiques of the fort city of Galle or shack up at uber-luxe hotels, occupying a cliff next to the ocean. Make the climb up to the Tea District, where precarious winding roads will lead you into the heart of the country’s tea plantations, or, towards the centre, climb Sigiriya Rock for views far and wide.”
Positioned amid the more trodden parts of India and Southeast Asia, the culture, history and natural beauty of Sri Lanka are undeniably alluring. It’s the place you haven’t been to yet, that you should.
