The General Services Administration (GSA) has announced its Fiscal Year 2024 per diem rates.
The per diem guidelines announced govern reimbursement for government employees’ lodging and meal expenses for official government travel and include a $9 increase to the standard lodging rate as well as large increases in rates in many non-standard areas (Charleston, Columbia, Hilton Head and Columbia).
This is a positive step for many hoteliers across, as government travel supports billions in travel spending, and many private-sector organizations also base travel reimbursements on federal per diem rates.
