As dude ranches become increasingly popular – partly thanks to Paramount Network’s Yellowstone series – you may have clients approach you with this request. While it might not be the most popular type of accommodation requested by your clientele, there are dude ranch companies that work with travel advisors and can help make this type of vacation dream come true.  

With summer approaching and the Yellowstone series set to return with a new season this fall, it’s a good time to familiarize yourself with this area of travel. One company that pays commission to travel advisors and offers authentic dude ranch adventures is True Ranch Collection.  

“All of our properties offer a classic dude ranch experience, from activities to food and décor, but each has its own feel and experience,” said Jaye Wells, managing partner of True Ranch Collection. “The ranches are also rich in history, with some dating back a century or more, and through our preservation company, we’ve revived them for the next generation of guests to enjoy while staying true to their identity and heritage. We hope your clients will join us for a vacation full of adventure, relaxation and historic tradition.”

True Ranch Collection has six properties to choose from, and the company is currently doubling commission for new reservations booked by June 15. Reservations for the ranches include lodging, meals and ranch activities.
