EXHIBIT 99.1
NextTrip’s JOURNY TV to Premiere first Original Series “I DO: In Destination” October 4 and 5 Across Global Streaming Network
New JOURNY TV Original Hosted by Ben Higgins Brings Destination Weddings, Luxury Resorts and Travel Inspiration to Viewers Around the World
Premiere Advances NextTrip’s “Watch. Inspire. Scan. Book. Go.” Content-to-Commerce Strategy; Third Episode Scheduled to Film in The Bahamas in October
Sunrise, FL – September 15, 2026 – NextTrip, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTRP) (“NextTrip,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), a technology-forward travel and media company defining the intersection of Media and Travel, today announced that its first JOURNY TV Original series, I DO: In Destination, hosted by television personality and entrepreneur Ben Higgins, will premiere October 4th and 5th, 2026, across JOURNY’s expanding global streaming network, followed by its YouTube premiere the next day at @JOURNYTV.
The premiere marks an important milestone in JOURNY TV’s growing slate of original programming and advances NextTrip’s strategy of connecting premium travel content directly with travel inspiration, discovery and commerce.
I DO: In Destination follows real couples through the emotional, exciting, and occasionally dramatic, final days leading up to their destination weddings. Along the way, the series captures the relationships, personalities and inevitable surprises behind each celebration, while showcasing the stunning destinations, resorts and hospitality teams working behind the scenes to make each wedding unforgettable.
The premiere episode was filmed at Paradisus Cancún in Mexico, followed by a second destination wedding filmed at the Paradisus Palma Real in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Each episode showcases the planning, service, cuisine, amenities and attention to detail involved in creating a destination wedding, while giving viewers a broader look at the featured properties as destinations for vacations, celebrations and leisure travel.

“What makes I DO: In Destination special is that the wedding is only part of the story,” said Ben Higgins, host of the series. “You get to know the couples and experience this incredible moment with them, but you also discover these beautiful destinations and the people behind the scenes who make everything happen. I think viewers will come away entertained, emotionally connected and probably thinking about where they want to travel next. That ability to turn a great story into inspiration is what makes this series so exciting.”
From Entertainment to Travel Inspiration and Commerce
For NextTrip, I DO: In Destination represents the type of original programming JOURNY TV is increasingly developing around its content-to-commerce strategy.
As viewers experience the resorts and destinations through the series, NextTrip intends to create opportunities to move from watching and inspiration to engagement, discovery and ultimately booking, extending the value of the programming beyond traditional television exposure.
The format also creates an integrated marketing opportunity for resorts, destinations, tourism partners, sponsors and advertisers. Rather than conventional advertising or product placement, participating partners can become part of the story, allowing viewers to experience properties, destinations, amenities, dining, culture and service through compelling travel-focused programming.
“We are seeing genuine enthusiasm from travel partners, destinations and advertisers around what we are building across NextTrip’s media properties, led by JOURNY TV,” said Amy Proost, Chief Revenue Officer of NextTrip. “As JOURNY’s global distribution and viewership continue to grow, partners increasingly see the value of reaching travelers through compelling content at the very moment they are being inspired to go somewhere. I DO: In Destination is a great example of that opportunity, it allows a resort or destination to become part of the story in an authentic way, while NextTrip’s broader content-to-commerce platform is designed to turn that inspiration into engagement and, ultimately, travel. We believe that combination creates a differentiated opportunity for sponsors and advertisers and an increasingly valuable platform for our travel partners.”
Franchise Continues with The Islands of The Bahamas
Building on the first two productions, JOURNY TV is scheduled to film the third episode of I DO: In Destination in October 2026 in Nassau, Bahamas, with support from The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism.
The planned production represents another step in expanding I DO: In Destination into a repeatable JOURNY franchise connecting premium original programming with destinations, resorts, sponsors and NextTrip’s travel-commerce capabilities.
“The premiere of I DO: In Destination is an important milestone because it demonstrates what we believe JOURNY TV can increasingly become, not only a place to watch entertaining travel programming, but a full-funnel platform that can inspire an audience and also connect that inspiration to commerce,” said Casey D’Ambra, President of Media at NextTrip. “We are building an ecosystem where destinations and hospitality partners can tell their stories to potential travelers through compelling original content, while our technology and booking capabilities create a path for those viewers to engage and ultimately travel. I DO is a strong example of that strategy coming together.”
JOURNY Originals Meet Global Distribution
The premiere comes as NextTrip continues to expand JOURNY TV’s global media footprint, viewership and original programming strategy. JOURNY TV programming is distributed across a growing network of streaming and video platforms internationally, providing travel destinations, hospitality partners, advertisers and sponsors with opportunities to reach consumers while they are actively being entertained and inspired to travel.
I DO: In Destination is designed to demonstrate that model in action: premium original content creates the inspiration; JOURNY TV provides the audience and distribution; and NextTrip’s travel technology and booking capabilities provide the path toward commerce.
For advertisers and travel partners, the combination is designed to provide more than traditional media exposure. NextTrip’s model seeks to connect brand and destination awareness generated through content with measurable consumer engagement and, ultimately, travel transactions.
Watch. Inspire. Scan. Book. Go.
NextTrip’s broader content-to-commerce strategy is designed to shorten the distance between seeing a destination and traveling there.
Through JOURNY TV programming such as I DO: In Destination, viewers can discover places, resorts and experiences through professionally produced storytelling. NextTrip is building the technology and travel infrastructure designed to enable those viewers to move from “I want to go there” to planning and booking the trip.
The result is a model intended to create value across the travel ecosystem: compelling programming for viewers, global exposure and engagement for destination and hospitality partners, commercial opportunities for advertisers and sponsors, and travel demand that can ultimately flow into NextTrip’s booking platforms.
I DO: In Destination premieres October 4th and 5th, 2026, across JOURNY’s streaming platforms, followed by its YouTube premiere the next day at @JOURNYTV.
