WESTON, FL, March 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire – Monaker Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: MKGI), a technology solutions company, today announced the launch of NextTrip Journeys, its consumer travel division, and as part of it with the launch of www.nexttripcruise.com – an online cruise portal where guests can book directly, find inspiring cruise itineraries and work with the company’s Personal Journeys Consultants to create a customized vacation. This launch brings with it the transformation of Maupintour into NextTrip Journeys.
“The NextTrip Journeys brand is the evolution of where we wanted to go with consumer travel at Monaker Group,” said Tim Sikora, CIO and COO. “We’ve expanded to offer cruises, recognizing the pent-up demand for consumers interested in booking luxury and exotic sailings once cruising resumes. Our Personal Journeys Consultants can turn any cruise product into an extraordinary experience.”
“Maupintour was founded on a principle of innovation, transformation, and superior service. Throughout 2020, we focused on innovating Maupintour beyond land tours to include vacation home rentals, and now cruise. It’s a natural transformation of the brand to reflect the broader offerings,” continued Sikora. “We will continue to embrace Tom Maupin’s guiding principles, created 70 years ago when he founded Maupintour, to provide our guests with innovative vacation experiences. Through our Personal Journeys Consultants, we can craft extraordinary cruise or land experiences tailored to their unique desires and needs.”
Further innovation of the NextTrip Journeys brand in 2021 will include the addition of Luxury travel in late second quarter that will cater to clientele seeking private air, yacht charters and private island adventures.
