Fair Per-Diem Rates: In an Environment of Rising Costs for Hotels, Per Diems for Government Travel Must Keep Pace
📌 The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announced that per-diem rates for FY2025 will remain at $178/day, with $110 for lodging and $68 for meals/incidental expenses. Despite cuts to government travel, these rates remain crucial for hotels, especially near military bases. Increases of $9/night for FY2024 and $3/night for FY2025 were made after advocacy from AHLA. The hospitality sector anticipates challenges with flat rates amid rising costs and upcoming global events like the FIFA World Cup and USA250.
