News related to:NextTrip · 2 min read
NextTrip, a technology-forward travel and media company, is set to premiere its first original series, "I DO: In Destination," on October 4 and 5, 2026. The series, hosted by television personality and entrepreneur Ben Higgins, will air across JOURNY TV's expanding global streaming network and will also be available on YouTube.
"I DO: In Destination" follows real couples through the final days leading up to their destination weddings. The series captures the emotional, exciting, and occasionally dramatic moments, providing viewers with a broader look at 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.
The series aims to connect premium travel content directly with travel inspiration, discovery, and commerce. According to Amy Proost, Chief Revenue Officer of NextTrip, "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."
The premiere marks an important milestone in JOURNY TV's growing slate of original programming. The format also creates an integrated marketing opportunity for resorts, destinations, tourism partners, sponsors, and advertisers. Participating partners can become part of the story, allowing viewers to experience properties, destinations, amenities, dining, culture, and service through compelling travel-focused programming.
NextTrip is expanding JOURNY TV's global media footprint, viewership, and original programming strategy. The company's media properties, including JOURNY TV and TravelMagazine.com, are distributed across a growing network of streaming and video platforms internationally. This distribution strategy is designed to inspire viewers and connect that inspiration to commerce.
The third episode of "I DO: In Destination" is scheduled to film in Nassau, Bahamas, in October 2026, with support from The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism. This 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.
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.
