About Western Skies Travel LLC
Dale and Rick opened Western Skies Travel as a hosted agency in 2018. After adding several subagents, surviving the COVID epidemic, and growing in spurts, they decided the time had come to move the agency from a hosted model to a host agency model.
Dale has over 40 years in the industry from managing hotels to implementing and training Property Management Systems to running a travel agency. Rick runs the back office.
