Daily Travel Allowance

Question

Dear HR Professionals,

I would like to know what are the daily travel allowance rates that companies set for travel within the Asia region, US and Europe. We are a Japanese company and our rate is S$75 per day for Asia, S$90 per day for US and Europe.

Hope to have some insights.

Thank you.
