## Summary

**Music tourism** becomes a national travel priority by directing the National Travel and Tourism Office to promote travel to U.S. music festivals, concert venues, museums, studios, and other music sites. - Travelers and music fans: Expect more federal promotion of live-music events and destinations, which could raise awareness of concerts, festivals, and music museums. - Venues, festivals, and local economies: Historic and modern music sites, from small venues to major festivals, gain a clearer federal role in marketing that may increase visitor interest. - Rural and cultural destinations: The law asks the Office to emphasize rural and other culturally or ecologically rich destinations for meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions and to promote sports and recreation events. - Congress and planners: The Office must report to Congress within 1 year and then every 2 years on goals, activities, achievements, and vulnerabilities related to music, sports, and travel promotion.
