FYRMacedonia is ranked among the ten hottest destinations to visit in 2011 according to U.S. Business Magazine, part of the CNBC network.

"Macedonia has long been an under-the-radar sort of tourist destination. Though the capital, Skopje, has a certain ramshackle Ottoman charm, its Lake Ohrid, on the border with Albania, which most visitors reserve the superlatives for.

Think of Lake Como with hubble-bubble pipes and exquisite waterside Orthodox churches and you come close to the unique spirit of this geologically ancient body of water.

Ohrid, the delightful main town, is developing a cool summer eating, drinking and partying scene. Now run by expanding Turkish operator TAV, both Skopje and Ohrid airports are due to be modernised in the near future", says the Business Magazine.

Other destinations recommended are Florianopolis (Brazil), Belgian city Antwerp, Colombia, Algeria, Syrian capital Damascus, Kalpitya Peninsula (Sri Lanka), Basilicata (Italy), Chicago and Taiwan.
