Sri Lanka Becomes 2012 Holiday Hotspot

Travelling to Sri Lanka is a cheap and cheerful choice

Travellers wanting to continue their holiday tradition without having to spend large amounts of money will welcome news that Sri Lanka is set to become a destination hotspot in 2012. With cities such as Colombo becoming increasingly accessible, and the nation having the lure of pristine beaches and a secluded atmosphere, Sri Lanka is expected to draw thousands of British visitors over the coming months.

Monthly travel magazine Conde Nast Traveller is one of the most influential and highly regarded publications in the tourism industry, and has put Sri Lanka in its top five holiday destinations to watch in 2012. The magazine revealed that one of the best experiences for people enjoying holidays was the feeling of exploring somewhere special, new and a place that had previously been inaccessible. Sri Lanka meets all these criteria with abundance, and provides visitors a welcome change to locations that have already become vastly popular.

With pristine beaches, underrated cuisine and plenty of opportunities to explore national parks and the country's exotic wildlife, there are many activities for holidaymakers to indulge in. In addition, with an exchange rate favouring British individuals wanting to save money, Sri Lanka is set to be frequented more than ever before during 2012.
