"Where Is Sri Lanka": The Most Asked Question On Google In 2019

December 13, 2019

Sri Lanka has topped the "Where Is" category on Google in the search engine's annual Year in Search report unveiled on Wednesday.

Each year, the search engine rounds up the top trending searches of the year and sorts them into categories like Actors, Weddings, and Recipes.

The island nation beat out terms such as "Where is the super bowl this year" and "Where is 21 savage from" to claim the top spot.

It should be noted that the horrific terrorist bombings that killed 250 people in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday this year is almost undoubtedly the main reason behind the surge in search traffic.

Sri Lanka had also been named Lonely Planet's best place to visit in 2019 before the attacks.
