Law

Unlikely to pass

This bill seeks to reverse cuts made by a previous major law, which usually faces strong opposition from the party that passed the original cuts.

Key Points

This bill provides $80 million to the Travel Promotion Fund for the 2026 budget year. This fund supports Brand USA, a group that creates marketing campaigns to encourage people from other countries to visit the United States.
The goal of this money is to replace funding that was recently cut by a different law. By restoring these funds, supporters hope to help the American travel and tourism industry stay competitive with other countries.
International tourism is a major part of the economy for many states. This money would help pay for advertisements and programs that bring in foreign travelers who spend money at American hotels, restaurants, and local businesses.
