Blackburn and Hickenlooper Introduce Senate Bill to Boost U.S. Music Tourism, Calling Venues ‘Keepers of Our Culture’
The American Music Tourism Act, by Senators Blackburn and Hickenlooper, would bring a national effort to increase travel to music events or venues.
From Red Rocks to the Grand Ole Opry, and hundreds of small venues across our country, millions visit Colorado and all our states to hear world class musicians and connect with each other,” said Sen. Hickenlooper in a statement. The American Music Tourism Act would leverage this existing framework within the Department of Commerce to highlight and promote music tourism in the United States with the act requiring the assistant secretary to submit their findings, achievements and activities to the congressional and senate committees within one year of its passage and every year thereafter. We applaud Senators Marsha Blackburn and John Hickenlooper for aligning the nation’s tourism strategy with the venues and festivals across our country that the world travels to experience.”
