Each year, Lonely Planet's Best in Travel is selected by a panel of judges based on nominations from Lonely Planet's vast community of editors, researchers, locals and influencers. The outcome is an eclectic list of destinations with unique, compelling and topical reasons to visit in the year ahead – as well as underlying travel trends to look for. Lonely Planet also selects the best New Openings, Places to Stay, Food Experiences and Attractions for Kids.
"These are the places to experience in 2019," said Lonely Planet Destination Editor Trisha Ping. "They might be coming into their own, celebrating a once-in-a-lifetime event or simply have been overlooked for too long – whatever the reason, now is the time to plan a trip."
Epic 4K Smart TV range will facilitate home broadband connectivity for online streaming including world's leading in-built games, chat function, live streaming and downloading videos, receiving news alerts and weather reports. Another special feature is the access provided to e-thaksalawa, a partnership with the Ministry of Education to provide a direct link to the national e-learning platform to offer the best choices of evolving learning systems in Sri Lanka. This application is specially designed in accordance with school syllabuses for students from grade 1 to 13 by the Ministry of Education.
The best-selling book is now in its 14th edition and the landing page, lonelyplanet.com/best-in-travel, features tips and videos on visiting each destination as well as a chance to win a trip for two to Copenhagen. Most of the top 10 cities can also be explored with Lonely Planet's Guides app.
