Creates new grant programs to boost tourism for Native American and Native Hawaiian communities.
This bill would create new grant programs to help Indian tribes, tribal organizations, and Native Hawaiian organizations develop tourism. It would set aside $35 million for these programs from the government's budget years 2025 to 2029. This means more federal support for tourism efforts in these communities.
Today, the Native American Tourism and Improving Visitor Experience Act does not include specific grant programs from agencies like the Bureau of Indian Affairs or the Office of Native Hawaiian Relations for tourism. If this bill passes, new grant programs would be created within these agencies and others. $35 million would be set aside to fund tourism projects for Indian tribes, tribal organizations, and Native Hawaiian organizations. This funding would cover the government's budget years 2025 to 2029.
