Overview

This chapter provides the policy and procedures for establishing and operating a guest house at overseas posts. The purpose of a guest house is to provide temporary quarters to U.S. Government (USG) employees and their families while they are on official travel status. It also provides a safe, comfortable, and cost-effective alternative to hotels and other temporary residences when such facilities are nonexistent, limited, unsafe, or excessively overpriced.
