Cultural Trade Promotion Act

This bill requires the Department of Commerce and related trade agencies to do more to help very small businesses, arts and culture businesses, and Native Hawaiian businesses sell their goods and services in other countries. It calls for better international shipping options for small businesses and microenterprises, and it directs agencies to include recommendations for these groups in their trade plans. The bill also allows Commerce to help Native Hawaiian tribes and businesses develop foreign markets for authentic Native Hawaiian arts and crafts, and it requires that someone representing creative industries be added as a permanent member of the U.S. Travel and Tourism Advisory Board.
