New Apps Deepen Audience Engagement and Extend JOURNY's Rebrand Momentum Across Major Platforms
SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO / ACCESS Newswire / December 4, 2025 / NextTrip, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTRP) ("NextTrip," "we," "our," or the "Company"), a technology-forward travel and media company defining the intersection of Media and Travel, today announced the completion and launch of JOURNY's new apps for Apple iOS, Roku, and Android, making JOURNY's expanding library of licensed and original travel content accessible across major connected devices and mobile platforms.

Ian Sharpe, Chief Operating Officer of NextTrip Media, commented:
"JOURNY, like all modern brands, is strengthening its business by owning the connection with its customers. A mobile app is the highest form of owned channel: a permanent presence on the customer's home screen, where no algorithm stands between us and our audience. Push notifications give us a direct, high-visibility line of communication, and the viewers who download our apps are typically our most valuable cohort, those with the highest engagement, the strongest intent, and the highest lifetime value.
"These new JOURNY apps give us a channel that strengthens our relationship with viewers and allows us to guide them seamlessly from inspiration to booking."
"The JOURNY team is building something special, not just a channel but a true destination for travel storytelling. With our apps now live across Apple TV, Roku, iOS, and Android, JOURNY is in the hands of millions of new viewers worldwide. This completes the first stage of our multi-platform expansion and opens up new opportunities to connect viewers with destinations, brands, and real-world travel experiences through our 'Watch. Scan. Book. Go.' content-to-commerce model."
Since NextTrip's acquisition of JOURNY in April 2025, the Company has focused on reimagining the brand as a premium, globally accessible media platform that bridges inspiration to travel booking. NextTrip's in-house technology and design teams engineer a best-in-class user experience across connected TV and mobile, ensuring JOURNY delivers a seamless, intuitive interface for discovering and engaging with content.
With the anticipated addition of GoUSA TV's globally recognized travel content, JOURNY's enhanced technology infrastructure, expanding distribution footprint, and growing slate of JOURNY Originals, the Company is advancing its vision to become one of the world's leading free ad-supported ("FAST") and VOD travel channels, seamlessly integrating content, commerce, and booking.
The rollout of multi-platform apps, combined with upcoming KC Global Media distribution and expected GoUSA integration, reinforces NextTrip's media-to-travel flywheel 'Watch. Scan. Book. Go.' designed to inspire, engage, and seamlessly convert viewers into travelers.
