Jakarta came out tops among Asian countries in TripAdvisor's Travellers' Choice Destinations on the Rise awards this year.

TripAdvisor said in a press statement that the awards recognise destinations that have seen the greatest increase in positive traveller feedback and traveller interest, year-on-year.

"Interestingly, Jakarta has topped the list of Asian destinations, beating Osaka, Kathmandu, Chiang Mai and Phnom Penh to name a few," said TripAdvisor spokesperson Jean Ow-Yeong.

Not only is there more interest in travelling to these less talked about cities, the spokesperson also said that the results are also based on "increasing positive feedback about the cities' hotels, restaurants and things to do."
