US Live Sector 'Thrilled' as Music Tourism Act is Signed into Law
The U.S. music industry has officially celebrated the enactment of the Music Tourism Act, which mandates federal promotion of live music and concert tourism.
The U.S. Music Tourism Act has been signed into law, a move projected to help the national music tourism sector grow to $11.3 billion in revenue by 2032. The legislation directs the Department of Commerce's National Travel and Tourism Office to actively promote domestic and international travel to American music festivals and concert venues. Industry leaders have expressed strong support for the act, noting that it provides essential government recognition and support for the live music business.
