Duck Dynasty is making a comeback! A&E has announced a new series, premiering this summer. The revival is already generating excitement beyond the Robertsons’ lives. Sheila Snow, Vice President of Marketing at the Monroe-West Monroe Visitors Bureau, anticipates a boost in tourism similar to the surge seen after the original series aired in 2012.
“When Duck Dynasty first aired in 2012, that following spring break travel exploded in our area with visitors coming to the area to check out the Robinsons’ way of life and to see where they lived, and to visit the Duck Commander warehouse.”
Snow says the Robertson family has done a great job expanding their warehouse and offering visitors more. Now they have added retail space and a new attraction for visitors.
“It’s the Duck Commander Tour, and visitors can come in and take a tour through the warehouse. They’ve got some really cool things set up.”
The new series will feature 20 one-hour episodes across two seasons, Snow says in addition to the show returning Monroe expects fans of the show to visit the twin cities as well.
“We’re expecting to have a good bit of that return as well. So, we’re really excited.”
