20 best places to visit in 2020 by CNN Travel

Things continue to look up for Sri Lanka’s tourism industry as the island was recognised as the best destination in Asia for wildlife tourism at the Top Asia Corporate Ball 2019. But the good news didn’t stop there, CNN travel named Sri Lanka in their 20 best places to visit in 2020 list, where the island shared company with countries like Jamaica, Ireland, and Tunisia.

These accolades have been attributed to Sri Lanka’s vast natural beauty, as well as its rich cultural history and the iconic locations associated with it. The UNESCO heritage Sigirya was given special mention, both for the impressive palace-fortress that lays atop this remarkable rock, and the lush tropical forests that surround it. If you’re planning a trip to Sri Lanka, this is a must-visit and you can find great accommodations in the numerous Knuckles hotels close by, like the Wild Glamping Knuckles.
