Brett Guthrie Republican
“I want the House to pass this bill. It tells the government to promote music tourism just like it promotes other travel. It does not spend new tax dollars or create new offices.”
“Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I rise today to speak in support of S. 195, the America Music Tourism Act of 2025. Music is one of the truest expressions of who we are as a country. It is part of the fabric of American life in every region and in every community. This bill simply directs the Department of Commerce to do what it already does for other forms of tourism: to build a plan to promote it and keep Congress informed. It asks for no new taxpayer dollars. It creates no new bureaucracy. It just puts music tourism on the same level of other national attractions. Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this bipartisan legislation, and I reserve the balance of my time.”
