GSA: Hotel per diem rates in fiscal 2013 will remain at 2012 levels

After close discussions with industry groups, the General Services Administration said federal per diem rates at hotels for fiscal 2013 will stay at current 2012 levels. The AH&LA wrote: “While certainly not ideal, the rate freeze is a far less radical approach than the crippling move that GSA had contemplated. AH&LA appreciates the consideration GSA gave to our concerns and looks forward to working with them to ensure per-diem rates reflect the market and are good value to the federal government.” Read the Washington Post story here.
