The American Music Tourism Act of 2024 amends federal law to make promoting music tourism an official responsibility of the U.S. Commerce Department's Assistant Secretary for Travel and Tourism. The bill adds music tourism to the department's duties for both domestic travel promotion and international visitor outreach, requiring the agency to identify and market music-related attractions and events across the country, including historic sites, museums, studios, venues, and music festivals. Music tourism is defined as traveling to visit music-related attractions or to attend concerts and musical performances. The legislation requires the Assistant Secretary to submit annual reports to Congress beginning one year after enactment, documenting activities, achievements, and any challenges related to these new music tourism promotion goals. The bill does not specify dedicated funding amounts, relying instead on existing Commerce Department resources for implementation.
