AUGUSTA, Ga.—Visitors to the city "Where the West Begins" soon will have a new resource for deciding where to go and what to do.

Fort Worth Guest Informant™, scheduled for publication in December, will be produced by Guest Informant™, part of the visitor publications division of Morris Communications Co. The hardcover in-room book will be placed in more than 8,000 rooms of the most popular hotels in Fort Worth and Arlington, Texas.

Guest Informant™ books, already distributed in 31 other U.S. markets, cater to business and leisure travelers who seek high-quality experiences in the communities they visit.

Guest Informant™'s parent company, Morris Communications, based in Augusta, Ga., has strong ties to Fort Worth. Its Fort Worth-based Cowboy Publishing Group publishes a growing cluster of equine publications, four of them in Fort Worth: Quarter Horse News, Barrel Horse News, The Horsetrader and Womenis Pro Rodeo News. The group also includes the highly regarded Western Horseman magazine. Cowboy Publishing Group Vice President J. Tyler Morris, a Fort Worth resident, is also a local businessman and competitive team roper.

"We love the city of Fort Worth, its wonderful people and its distinctive Western culture," said Morris Chairman and CEO William S. "Billy" Morris. "We already have a presence here and are delighted to be expanding our holdings in this friendly, dynamic area." Outside his business life, the elder Morris is a dedicated cutter, show chairman of the Augusta Futurity and founder and CEO of the National Barrel Horse Association. He also is a member of the National Cutting Horse Hall of Fame, headquartered in Fort Worth.

The new publication will showcase the best that Fort Worth has to offer for the business and leisure traveler. Filled with feature articles, advertising, maps and quick-reference listings, it will be a valuable tool for those who want to be "in the know" while in the city. In addition to detailed information on area shops, restaurants and attractions, readers will also find articles that reveal why Fort Worth is "Where the West Begins."

"We are very excited to add Fort Worth to our list of publications," said Ray Dallman, CEO of Guest Informant™. "With our book, area businesses have a new way to reach visitors and tap into the lucrative Fort Worth tourism market."

Guest Informant™ will unveil the book at a party in December at the Chisholm Club lounge of the Renaissance Worthington Hotel in Fort Worth. Invited guests will include inaugural edition advertisers, business partners, company executives, city officials and key players in the communityis hospitality and tourism industry.
