Action Alert: Tell Congress to Support Increasing Per Diem Rates

Federal elected officials can assist the continued recovery of the nation’s hotel and lodging industry by urging the General Services Administration (GSA) to make market-based rate increases to the lodging per diems of government employees. Tell your members of Congress to encourage the GSA to make it possible for us to offer competitive rates to government travelers.
