Promoting Music Tourism in the US: New Goals for Domestic and International Travel.
This Act aims to boost US tourism by actively promoting music-related locations and events. This means the federal government will identify and advertise museums, studios, venues, and festivals, potentially leading to increased tourist traffic, local economic growth, and easier access to cultural events. These changes are designed to encourage both Americans and international visitors to explore culturally rich regions, including those that are less known.
