You may not realize it because most of us never stay at a hotel in Kansas City, but KC ranks # 4 (worst) when it comes to add on taxes to hotel room rates, rental car, and meals. The recent survey showed that on a room rate of $103.45 the total additional taxes added on are $34.58 (yikes, do the math, that is +30%!). Business travelers become acutely aware of the impact, especially when travel budgets are tight. The survey also indicated 19% of travelers change their travel plans because of high taxes. Who is the baddest? Chicago, followed by New York, and Boston. Well, at least we are big league in something. Death? A sure way of opting out an all the above.
