Fast Facts on the Government Travel Market
  • The government travel market is the single largest spender of travel in the U.S. – 28 billion, resulting in over 24 million room nights a year.
  • Each day, over 93,000 government travelers are in route to over 8,000 destinations. That’s over 3 million travelers per year.
  • The U.S. Government requires all of their sanctioned travelers to stay at overnight lodgings that have predetermined room rates – called per diem rates. (Every hotel must also meet fire and safety requirements set by FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency.)
  • The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) sets these per diem rates – adjusted annually, usually in October – by location within the United States, including Puerto Rico.
  • If your hotel offers a free breakfast or any meal, the government traveler will choose your hotel over your competition. Government travelers are able to pocket any remaining money of their meals and incidentals allowance, but not money from a lower per diem rate.
