GSA Releases FY2018 Per Diem Rates

8/14/2017

 
The General Services Administration (GSA) has released federal per diem rates for FY 2018 that will go into effect October 1, 2017. There is an increase to the standard continental United States (CONUS) rate from $91 per night for lodging to a new rate of $93.
In FY 2018, no new locations will become Non-Standard Areas (NSAs) with a per diem rate higher than the standard CONUS rate.
Click here and choose “2018” in the Fiscal Year drop down menu for specific information regarding different localities. Federal per diem rates, which establish the maximum amount government travelers may pay for hotel rooms, are established each year based on actual market data compiled and provided by STR.
If you have any additional questions, please contact Amy Rohrer, President & CEO, Maryland Hotel Lodging Association.

The New Look Vacation: Opportunities & Responsibilities in the Sharing Economy

The sharing economy is revolutionizing the tourism industry – and also disrupting how counties regulate and tax it. With a multitude of services from accommodations to transportation now booked online with everyday providers just trying to earn an extra buck, the way we tax and regulate the tourism industry must treat all providers equitably while also ensuring the safety of our residents. Join this session to learn more about the challenges, potential solutions, and county responsibilities in the sharing economy.
Speakers:
  • Michael Coveyou, Chief, Division of Treasury, Montgomery County Department of Finance
  • Amy Rohrer, President & CEO, MD Hotel and Lodging Association
  • Will Burns, Public Policy, Airbnb
Moderator: The Honorable Jason Buckel, Maryland House of Delegates
