Acquisition Enhances Premier Resort Network Across the Caribbean and Mexico, Automates Group Travel, and Positions Platform for Accelerated Ramp Through NextTrip Integration
SANTA FE, NM / ACCESS Newswire / August 12, 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 that it has acquired TA Pipeline, LLC, a business specializing in group travel bookings to premier destinations across the Caribbean and Mexico, servicing travel agencies and advisors focused on the lucrative group travel segment.
TA Pipeline will continue operating under its well-established brand while leveraging the technological and operational strengths of NextTrip, with integration efforts beginning immediately. Over the past several years, TA Pipeline has built a strong reputation in the group travel segment, particularly for weddings, retreats, and large leisure groups, through its high-touch, personalized service model and trusted relationships with a wide array of resorts and properties. While full-scale marketing has yet to launch, TA Pipeline is already tracking toward approximately $8 million in projected revenue for 2025, providing a solid foundation for future growth and expansion under the NextTrip umbrella.
Earlier this year, TA Pipeline was introduced to NextTrip's proprietary Group Booking technology, an advanced platform that automates and streamlines many of the traditionally labor-intensive aspects of group travel planning. Both parties quickly recognized the strong synergies and significant growth opportunities in combining TA Pipeline's high-touch service model with NextTrip's scalable technology, ultimately leading to this acquisition.
"We are thrilled to welcome TA Pipeline into the NextTrip family," said Bill Kerby, CEO of NextTrip. "Their deep expertise and direct resort relationships perfectly complement our technology and vision. Together, we will strive to create a more efficient, scalable, and customer-friendly group booking experience."
The acquisition is expected to deliver multiple synergies:
Enhanced Resort Network: TA Pipeline's direct resort relationships will significantly broaden and deepen NextTrip's property portfolio, and NextTrip's existing partnerships will likewise enhance TA Pipeline's reach.
Technology-Driven Efficiency: NextTrip's Group Booking platform will significantly reduce the manual workload for TA Pipeline's agents, allowing them to focus more on service and scale.
Vertical Integration: Keeping more of our customers' transactions within the combined company is expected to enable improved margins, better customer insights, and a more cohesive experience from booking to travel.
NextTrip's cutting-edge platform allows individual travelers within a group to book their own travel at their convenience while remaining part of the collective reservation. This customizable technology also streamlines leisure, corporate and incentive groups, reducing the administrative burden on group leaders. Group leaders are now able to remove themselves from having to coordinate and collect flight details, travel dates, and room preferences. Guests can also add pre- and post-nights to their reservation, along with activities, insurance, and more. To enhance accessibility, the Group Booking Platform can be integrated into various digital touchpoints, including email invitations, event landing pages, and conference websites, ensuring seamless engagement and streamlined travel management. The feedback received on customer service, booking experience, and curated deliverables has been highly favorable. NextTrip is launching a suite of client-facing products for travel agencies that provide time-saving solutions with online to offline capabilities that keep them relevant in the ever-advancing digital landscape.
Now part of the NextTrip portfolio, TA Pipeline plans to expand its engagement with current users and enter new high-demand markets globally with the addition of city center and corporate hotel venues. With NextTrip's resources and strategic alignment, the platform is well-positioned to scale both adoption and revenue.
"This partnership is a natural evolution for TA Pipeline," said Mike O'Farrell, Director of Sales & Operations of TA Pipeline. "NextTrip's technology not only enhances our current capabilities but also empowers us to grow faster and serve our clients more effectively."
The Group Booking technology platform will also be available for license to Consortia, Travel Management Companies, and other travel-related operators.
