How could the American Music Tourism Act affect Global Music Rights?
Global Music Rights may see increased revenue from boosted music tourism. The American Music Tourism Act, now law, directs the U.S. Department of Commerce to develop a plan to increase music tourism for both domestic and international visitors. This federal support is intended to promote travel connected to American music and music venues. As music rights organizations like Global Music Rights collect royalties based on the use of copyrighted music, an increase in music tourism—attracting more visitors to venues and festivals—could lead to a corresponding rise in music consumption and performance royalties.

How it reaches Global Music Rights
-
The American Music Tourism Act was signed into law by Donald Trump on October 14. The legislation, co-sponsored by Marsha Blackburn and John Hickenlooper, requires the U.S. assistant secretary of commerce for travel and tourism to create a plan to increase music tourism for domestic and international visitors and report on its progress to Congress.
The full event3independent outlets -
The American Music Tourism Act requires the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Assistant Secretary to develop a plan to support and increase music tourism among domestic and international visitors. This promotion is aimed at drawing more visitors to music landmarks, concerts, festivals, and venues. Increased music tourism means more visitors are attending music venues and events. Since Global Music Rights is an American music performance rights organization, greater attendance and usage of copyrighted music in these venues would generate higher performance royalties.
