Monaker Announces Initial Launch of Maupintour’s Video Tour Guide

WESTON, FL / ACCESSWIRE / June 30, 2015 / Monaker Group (OTCQB: NXOID) (OTCQB: NXOI) (OTCQB: MKGI), today announced the initial launch of a series of Video Tour Guide offerings through Maupintour, its wholly owned subsidiary. Maupintour is the one of the oldest luxury tour companies in the US having a history of over 65 years of successfully creating and booking tours and activity-focused trips such as private tours of the Vatican to bicycling in the Alps to winetasting in Italy. Maupintour books trips and serves thousands of travel agents around the world.

The new Video Tour Guide (“platform”) launch, targets Maupintour’s exclusive customer base to deliver unique travel experiences through its extensive relationships in the travel and tour industry. Key to the video platform is a consumer request process that sorts and collates information and forwards recommended tour packages to the consumer based on their likes and travel preferences.

One of the Video Tour Guide Offerings being initially offered is the Rocky Mountaineer train ride through the Canadian Rockies. An example of the tour can be viewed at http://maupintour.com/tour/rocky-mountaineer-escape/.

Maupintour’s specialized travel products and services include tour programs to over 40 countries worldwide and is known for delivering its customers “extraordinary vacation experiences.” Over the past 65 years, it has developed an extremely loyal customer base that includes travelers who have booked over 50 Maupintour trips (and counting). To ensure positive reception of this marketing platform, the company tested a small sampling of Maupintour’s customers to obtain key feedback. Results suggested significantly higher consumer acceptance of this platform over traditional email marketing campaigns. Key metrics included a 700% increase in click-through-rate, average engagement of over 3 minutes (up 500%) and significantly higher consumer queries and bookings.

Commenting on the initial Video Tour Guide offerings launch, Mr. Bill Kerby, Monaker Group Chairman and CEO said, “We are very excited to utilize this new video platform to highlight tour offerings through our subsidiary Maupintour. To date the company has completed Video Tour Guides for 3 countries and expect to increase that number to cover specialized tours to 40 countries plus the development of new travel partner offerings of Video Tour Guides by the end of the year. Initial results have been encouraging and we expect to see noticeable growth in revenues generated from Maupintour this year.”

Additionally Monaker plans to accelerate the promotion of its Video Tour Guide offerings through new strategic partners, social media platforms and to utilize television advertising time available through its ownership and marketing agreement with Launch 360 to reach new audiences on the 34 million households currently receiving the R&R TV network. Travel is experiential and consumers want to have assurances that they are receiving both value and compatibility for their hard earned vacation time. The new Video Tour Guide combined with Maupintour’s reputation is a great step to meeting these needs and accelerating sales by delivering the right product to the right consumer at the right time.
