The Ozark Mountain Region (OMR) represents the five county region comprised of Baxter, Boone, Marion, Newton and Searcy Counties.
OMR is a recognized Arkansas Regional Tourism Association which makes available matching grant funds from the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism. These matching funds are reflected with much more affordable advertising prices than most other similar destination marketing organizations.
