Editorial StaffVISIT PA Teams Up with Philadelphia Eagles to Boost Tourism and Foster Inclusive Experiences
The collaboration aims to spotlight Pennsylvania as a prime travel destination, offer fans exclusive game-day interactions, and support sensory-friendly travel initiatives through the Eagles Autism Foundation.
In an unprecedented partnership, VISIT PA has allied with the Philadelphia Eagles to encourage fans to explore more of Pennsylvania, The Great American Getaway. The initiative is designed to drive tourism across the state.
As part of the partnership, VISIT PA will market Pennsylvania through various channels including Lincoln Financial Field, Eagles events, and social media. Notably, it will sponsor the Eagles Tailgate Pods, featuring team-branded golf carts that energize fans in tailgate areas with appearances by SWOOP, the Eagles Cheerleaders, and Eagles Legends. Additionally, 'SWOOP Stunts' will see the mascot visiting Pennsylvania attractions to highlight the state's offerings.
Anne Ryan, Deputy Secretary of the Pennsylvania Tourism Office, expressed enthusiasm, stating, “We couldn’t be more thrilled to be partnering with the Philadelphia Eagles, giving us yet another opportunity to show millions of Americans every week all that Pennsylvania has to offer to inspire their next getaway.” She emphasized the economic impact of tourism, noting that it generates over $80 billion annually for Pennsylvania.
VISIT PA is also collaborating with the Eagles Autism Foundation to support its Mobile Sensory Unit and the annual Eagles Autism Challenge, which includes a cycling and 5K run/walk event. This collaboration has amassed over $40 million for autism research and care. The partnership is set to promote sensory-friendly attractions and create an innovative sensory-inclusive itinerary.
Brian Napoli, Senior Vice President of Corporate Partnerships for the Philadelphia Eagles, welcomed the collaboration, saying, “We’re thrilled to welcome VISIT PA to the Philadelphia Eagles family as a new Proud Partner. VISIT PA is dedicated to showcasing the diverse attractions and experiences in the state we proudly call home.”
The year 2026 will be significant for Pennsylvania as it hosts numerous major events, including the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia, NCAA’s March Madness, the FIFA World Cup, MLB All-Star Game, PGA Championship, and the NFL Draft.
