Practice areas.
EJG serves destinations and tourism operators across seven practice areas, anchored by a flagship engagement in federal per diem rate advocacy and extending through the full range of work that destination and hospitality economies require.
Featured engagement
GSA Per Diem Rate Optimization
Federal travelers generate billions in lodging demand annually, at rates set by a process most communities never engage with. EJG helps tourism offices and DMOs navigate GSA's rate-setting methodology to achieve increases that flow directly to hotels, tax receipts, and local economies. Engagement combines upfront analysis with success-based fees tied to achieved rate increases.
