Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

New push to promote music tourism

If enacted, the Assistant Secretary for Travel and Tourism would need to find and promote music‑tourism places and events. This would cover both domestic and international travel, with focus on rural and cultural destinations. The office would work with other federal agencies. The bill would also define “music tourism” as trips to music sites or to live music events. This would not give direct payments to individuals.

Regular music tourism reports to Congress

If enacted, the Assistant Secretary would send a report to Congress on travel and music‑tourism goals. The first report would be due within 1 year after enactment. Reports would follow every 2 years. The report would list activities, findings, achievements, and vulnerabilities. The reports would not by themselves create new spending.
