Sri Lanka has been named the best country in the world to visit this year (2020), after Italy by readers of a US based travel publication - Conde Nast Traveller. It also named SriLankan Airlines among the top airlines to fly.

Sri Lanka scored 93.96 points while Italy with a score of 94.05 topped the first place.

SriLankan Airlines was also named the sixth best airline in the world by CN Traveller readers.

“It’s a top choice for travelers headed not only to the island nation it calls home, but to destinations in the region like the Maldives, where it’s the largest foreign airline. With a fleet of 26 planes, it’s not huge, but more passengers are discovering it, thanks to its membership in the Oneworld alliance.”
