NextTrip, Inc. has rolled out new Journy media platform apps for Apple iOS, Roku, and Android, making its licensed and original travel content available on the most widely used streaming and mobile ecosystems. The launch is part of the company’s broader content‑to‑commerce strategy, which seeks to move users from inspiration to booking within a single ecosystem.
The new apps are designed to increase user engagement and drive traffic to NextTrip’s integrated travel‑booking engine. By placing Journy content directly on users’ home screens, the company aims to capture a larger share of the travel‑inspiration market and convert that interest into bookings, a key differentiator from traditional online travel agencies that focus primarily on transactions.
NextTrip’s strategy has been accelerated by the acquisition of GoUSA TV, which expands its media footprint and adds new audiences. The company also announced a distribution partnership in Southeast Asia, positioning it to reach an estimated 250 million viewers by 2026. These moves are intended to create a virtuous cycle: more viewers lead to higher engagement, which in turn drives more bookings through the platform.
Financially, NextTrip has faced significant challenges. Trailing‑twelve‑month revenue stands at $1.06 million, with a three‑year revenue growth rate of –54.9 %. Operating and net margins are –1,216.59 % and –1,323.32 % respectively, and the company has acknowledged a working‑capital deficit that raises doubts about its ability to continue as a going concern. The app launch is therefore a strategic investment aimed at turning the company’s media assets into a revenue‑generating engine, but it comes at a time when the business is under financial strain.
Management has emphasized the importance of mobile ownership. COO Ian Sharpe said, “A mobile app is the highest form of owned channel: a permanent presence on the customer’s home screen.” CEO Bill Kerby added, “We’re transforming inspiration into action through our Watch. Scan. Book. Go. model.” These statements underscore the company’s belief that the new apps will be a catalyst for future growth, even as it navigates current financial headwinds.
