If, like Robert Frost, you want to take the road less
traveled, then visit Monaker Group, Inc.’s (OTCQB: MKGI) website at
www.monakergroup.com. There, you’ll find the path to a luxury escorted vacation
in some of the most exotic locales through Maupintour Extraordinary Vacations.
Maupintour, a portal for vacationers, is owned by Monaker Group and is just one
of the ways that the company is setting out to make life easier for travelers.
Travelers can use its comprehensive online platforms to make informed decisions
about vacations.
Maupintour was founded in 1951 by Tom Maupin and, according
to the Maupintour website (http://dtn.fm/Cr4Rd), was the first travel company
‘to send tourists into the Soviet Union after World War II’. These tours
garnered extensive media coverage at the time, which helped to establish
Maupintour as an adventurous company willing to travel off the beaten track, a
reputation it retains to this day. ‘Maupintour travelers have the highest
repeat rate in the industry, with some taking as many as 60 vacations with
Maupintour’.
Since one picture is worth a thousand words, a key element
in Monaker Group’s online offerings are images of vacation destinations. A
visitor to the NextTrip.com portal is invited to embark on a Voyage to Vietnam,
an Ecuadorian Adventure, a trip to Amsterdam or, perhaps, to enjoy Eternally
Italy. One of Monaker’s digital assets is an extensive media library. The
company has discovered that would-be travelers are increasingly using video
content to make decisions about vacations.
The company’s travel platforms offer a variety of features,
including enhanced video, language conversion, and dynamic booking
capabilities, all working together to assist the excited adventurer as he or
she plans that next trip. Monaker’s platforms are ‘a combination of proprietary
and licensed technology, connecting and searching both large travel suppliers
and alternative lodging inventories for the benefit of travelers’.
NextTrip.com provides access to travel video and support
from full service travel divisions, as well as key partnerships with multiple
cruise and tour groups within the United States. NextTrip uses network original
programs with travel footage to create valuable and relevant content for its
viewers. Later this year, a mobile app for the platform is expected to be
launched.
Travelers on the road to success include founder, chairman
and CEO of Monaker Group, William Kerby. Kerby has over 18 years’ experience in
the media and travel industries, which was preceded by 10 years in the
financial services industry. He founded RealBiz Media Group, the largest video
creation company in the North American real estate industry. He also started
the R&R Television Network, now viewed by 34 million households, and
founded TravelByUs, a NASDAQ small cap company that completed a number of
accretive acquisitions, including seven international tour operations and 24
travel agencies. Kerby is also the founder of Leisure Canada, which operates
210 agencies and international tour operations in Great Britain, France, South
Africa and the South Pacific.
Chief operating officer and chief financial officer of
Monaker Group is Omar Jimenez. Jimenez is an executive with over 33 years of
multi-industry experience in building, strengthening and leading national and
multinational, public and private companies in various degrees of corporate
maturity, including start-up, stable, high growth and turnaround status.
James Marmorstone is acting president. His background is in
the real estate and hospitality industries. Curtis Krauskopf is chief
technology officer. Jim Nieters is director of engineering & IT. Jeff Idso
is VP business development. Other directors are Pat LaVecchia, formerly group
head of global private corporate equity placements at Credit Suisse First
Boston; Doug Checkeris, formerly CEO of Mediacom North America; and Don Monaco,
principal owner of Monaco Air Duluth, an aviation services business.
