Fort Lauderdale Has No. 1 Lowest Bed Tax
Meeting professionals can save big in Greater Fort Lauderdale. Not only can planners find great year-end rates and winter values at Fort Lauderdale meeting properties, but they can also take advantage of one of the lowest guest room taxes in the country.
In August, the National Business Travel Association (NBTA) Foundation released a report citing Fort Lauderdale as having the lowest general sales taxes and discriminatory travel taxes among U.S. central cities. This annual study focused on the top 50 U.S. travel destinations and was based on hotels, car rental and meal taxes. A second Florida meeting destination, southwest Florida's Fort Myers, was ranked as No. 2 in the NBTA report.
When sourcing a meeting in a lot of destinations, many planners have been pleased to secure a great room rate, only to be disappointed with a high bed tax and other fees. This is not the case in Greater Fort Lauderdale, as the NBTA report shows. More savings can be found through budget-stretching hotel meeting deals, plus an accessible airport featuring such value carriers such Jet Blue, Southwest and Spirit, traditional carriers and a drive just minutes to area hotels.
The Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau meetings team is happy to provide meeting professionals with more information and expert assistance with meetings, conventions and incentives.
