The American Music Tourism Act of 2025 amends the Visit America Act to add music-related travel as an official tourism promotion focus. It directs the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Travel and Tourism to identify and promote museums, recording studios, concert venues, and festivals to domestic and international visitors. The bill also formally defines "music tourism" in law and requires progress reports to Congress every two years.
Affects the federal tourism office, local economies in music-history cities like Nashville, Memphis, and New Orleans, and tourism, hospitality, and entertainment businesses.
Travelers may see more federally promoted marketing for music destinations and events, though the bill does not create new spending programs, taxes, or requirements for individuals.
