American Music Tourism Act of 2025

The American Music Tourism Act of 2025 amends the Visit America Act to significantly expand the focus on music tourism. It mandates the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Travel and Tourism to actively identify and promote locations and events important to music tourism for both domestic and international travelers. This includes facilitating travel to historic sites, modern venues, and live performances. The legislation also introduces a clear definition of music tourism , encompassing travel to visit music-related attractions like museums, studios, and venues, as well as travel to attend music festivals, concerts, or other live musical events. Additionally, it emphasizes promoting rural and culturally rich destinations for international meetings and tourism. To ensure oversight, the bill mandates the Assistant Secretary to submit biennial reports detailing progress, achievements, and challenges related to these new domestic and international travel goals.
