The latest Oil Region Guide, the premier tourism publication produced by the Oil Region Alliance (ORA), hit literature racks, visitor centers, and the Internet in February.

The 52-page magazine highlights the Oil Region National Heritage Area (ORNHA)’s history, outdoor recreational offerings, arts and culture, hospitality amenities, and more through articles and advertisements.

“The Guide is a terrific resource for locals as well as guests who have already arrived in the area or those who are planning to visit,” said Emily Altomare, ORA Communications and Tourism Manager.

This is the first time the Guide has been designed inhouse at the ORA, however the process continues to incorporate a lot of input from community members and volunteers including those who serve on the ORA’s Tourism Advisory Promotion Council.

“I am so appreciative of the collaboration between our staff and committee members and the participation of advertisers,” said John R. Phillips, II, ORA President & CEO.

The Guide is distributed locally at visitor centers and points of interest as well as in response to direct requests. It is also available at stops on the PA turnpike, rest stops, Welcome Centers, and select AAA offices across the state.

The Guide is also available to download or flip through virtually online at OilRegion.org/tourism/visitor-guide/.
