Heading into a new decade, CNN Travel editors have nominated some of their favorite places for the annual list and selected Sri Lanka as one of the best places to visit in 2020."The South Asian island nation of Sri Lanka is as ancient as it is beautiful; as complex a civilization now as at any time in its 2,000-year history. Despite recent tumult (the horrific terror attacks last Easter), Sri Lanka remains an essential destination, an epicenter of history, with relics and ruins, temples and palaces, wildlife running free," CNN Travel wrote.
