American Music Tourism Act of 2025

This bill amends the Visit America Act to significantly expand the focus on music tourism within the United States. It directs the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Travel and Tourism to identify and actively promote locations and events important to music tourism, facilitating both domestic and international travel to these sites. This new mandate aims to boost cultural heritage tourism by highlighting music-related attractions and events. Specifically, the Assistant Secretary's duties now include facilitating international business and leisure travel to music tourism destinations, alongside other unique American cultural and ecological sites. The legislation also provides a clear definition of "music tourism" , encompassing travel to historic or modern music attractions like museums, studios, and venues, as well as attending music festivals, concerts, or live performances. Furthermore, it establishes new biennial reporting requirements for the Assistant Secretary on activities and achievements related to these expanded domestic and international travel goals.
