CHECK OUT THE INVESTOR PRESENTATION HERE
_________________________
Hello Everyone,
There was blood in the water last week and more of the same is expected Monday as of right now anyway.
With that being said, we found a detour last week. Our profile from wed ran over 20% while Thursdays profile was on the verge of going parabolic after opening at 4.89 and hitting 7.95 later on in the session. That one got halted twice for tripping the circuit breaker and making huge moves to the upside.
Moving on we have a new profile with a TINY float that have probably never heard of before.
Pull up NTRP right away.
Take a look at the chart on this one! Since December this one has exploded and established itself a new trading range.
NTRP has the potential to break out as evidenced by the chart above. Right now is a goo time to research this one.

NextTrip Reports Strong Growth in Group Bookings Following Five Star Alliance Collaboration
NextTrip has Secured 300 Traveler Bookings, Totaling 1,480 Room Nights, Expected to Generate Several Hundred Thousand Dollars in Revenue Upon Travel
SANTA FE, NM / ACCESS Newswire / April 1, 2025 / NextTrip, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTRP) (“NextTrip,” “we,” “our,” or the “Company”), a leading travel technology company dedicated to transforming how travelers plan, book, and experience trips, today announced significant progress in Group Booking activity and lead conversions following its recent collaboration with Five Star Alliance. NextTrip announced the launch of its Group Booking Platform last summer, designed to modernize and streamline a traditionally manual and cumbersome process, bringing efficiency and ease to travelers and group organizers alike.
In February of this year, NextTrip acquired a 49% stake in Five Star Alliance, a premier online luxury travel agency founded in 2004 and renowned for its curated collection of five-star hotels and resorts worldwide. While Five Star Alliance historically received frequent group booking inquiries, its primary focus remained on luxury travel and high-end hotel reservations.
Following the acquisition and subsequent business collaboration, these group inquiries are now seamlessly integrated into NextTrip’s ecosystem, allowing for optimized handling and higher conversion rates. Leveraging NextTrip Group’s proprietary technology, strong hotel partnerships, and exceptional customer service, the company has achieved an impressive 75% conversion rate on Five Star Alliance group inquiries.
In recent weeks alone, NextTrip has successfully secured bookings for 300 travelers for a total of 1,480 room nights booked, which will generate several hundred thousand dollars in revenue for NextTrip at time of travel.

NextTrip’s cutting-edge platform allows individual travelers within a group to book their own travel at their convenience while still remaining part of the collective reservation.

The guests are also able to add pre-and-post nights to their reservation, 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.
As NextTrip continues to expand its Group Booking capabilities, the Company remains committed to leveraging technology to enhance the travel experience for groups of all sizes. For more information, visit NextTrip.com/groups.
NextTrip Strengthens Financial Position with the Conversion of $2.6 Million in Short-Term Debt to Restricted Equity Before its Fiscal Year-End
Provides for a Stronger Balance Sheet and Greater Financial Flexibility to Focus on Scaling Innovative Travel Solutions
SANTA FE, NM / ACCESS Newswire / February 28, 2025 / NextTrip, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTRP) (“NextTrip,” “we,” “our,” or the “Company”), a leading travel technology company, announced today the conversion of $2.6 million in short-term debt, including $1.5 million previously advanced by the Company’s Chairman and CEO. These loans were converted into restricted equity ahead of completion of the Company’s fiscal year-ended February 28, 2025. Additionally, certain other creditors agreed to convert their $1.1 million of debt into restricted equity. This is in addition to the $1.75 million in short-term promissory notes previously converted to restricted equity on December 31, 2024.
These strategic moves eliminate most of the debt from NextTrip’s balance sheet, replacing cash repayment obligations, including for accrued principal and interest, with the issuance of restricted shares of the Company’s stock. This significantly enhances the Company’s balance sheet and frees up capital to drive key initiatives. The Company believes this underscores strong insider confidence in NextTrip’s long-term growth trajectory while enhancing financial flexibility as it enters fiscal year 2026.
“The conversion of these substantial loans reflects our unwavering support and commitment to NextTrip’s future,” said William Kerby, NextTrip CEO. “With a stronger balance sheet and greater financial flexibility, we are better positioned to manage our obligations effectively and focus on scaling our innovative travel solutions.”
