Platform is Designed to Eliminate Outdated Systems and Bring Cutting-Edge Efficiency Allowing Travel Professionals More Time to Focus on Growing their Business
SANTA FE, NM / ACCESS Newswire / June 10, 2025 / NextTrip, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTRP) ("NextTrip," "we," "our," or the "Company"), a technology-forward travel company redefining how people discover, plan, and book travel, today announced the beta launch of its next-generation Travel Agent Booking Platform, with over 170 independent travel agents enrolling in the first few days. Built to modernize both the tools and experience of today's travel professionals, the platform is designed to eliminate outdated systems and bring cutting-edge efficiency to a long-underserved segment of the travel industry.
Recognizing the lack of innovation in current agent platforms, NextTrip has developed a dynamic, user-friendly system that optimizes both front-end and back-end operations. By dramatically reducing manual tasks, the platform gives agents more time to focus on growing their business through sales and client engagement, rather than time-consuming administrative work.
At the core of the platform is NextTrip's scalable Booking Engine, supported by an extensive network of Supplier Agreements offering competitive pricing and wide product availability, including flights, hotels, cruises, and packaged vacations. Agents can also benefit from customizable point-of-sale landing pages that reflect their personal brand and can be easily shared across social media channels, helping to drive traffic, boost conversions, and increase their digital presence.
A standout feature is NextTrip's Group Booking Technology, which redefines how group travel is planned and managed. The platform empowers individual travelers within a group to book their own arrangements, on their own schedule, while still remaining part of the collective reservation. This eliminates the administrative burden of manually coordinating dates, flights, and room preferences, saving agents and trip coordinators valuable time.
Additionally, travelers can personalize their experience by adding excursions, extending their stay, or choosing upgraded amenities, creating new opportunities for agents to earn incremental revenue. The Group Booking Platform can be seamlessly integrated into digital touchpoints such as email invitations, event landing pages, and conference websites, making the booking process not only efficient but also more engaging and personalized.
NextTrip's launch comes as the travel agent sector experiences a notable resurgence. According to Phocuswright, the U.S. travel agency market grew 28% in gross bookings in 2023, totaling $109.7 billion. With continued momentum expected through 2025, the role of independent agents is being redefined, making this an ideal time for disruption through modern technology.
"Agents today are entrepreneurial, digital-savvy, and eager for tools that match their ambition," said Amy Proost, Chief Revenue Officer at NextTrip. "Our platform is designed to empower them with the flexibility, automation, and marketing reach they need to thrive in today's market."
NextTrip will actively gather feedback from its beta users and continue evolving the platform to meet the dynamic needs of today's travel professionals. Future releases are expected to include enhanced social media integrations and marketing automation tools, further equipping agents to expand their reach and deliver exceptional customer experiences.
