Bill overview
The Explore America Act of 2022 aims to boost economic development across the United States by strengthening cultural heritage tourism and historic preservation through the Preserve America Program. It expands the program to offer technical assistance to eligible communities instead of solely providing grants, and establishes metrics to measure the program’s effectiveness. Furthermore, the bill authorizes the National Park Service to partner with gateway communities – including Native American communities and National Heritage Areas – to leverage local heritage tourism assets and create jobs.
