Monaker Acquires Specialty Lodging Booking Engine

WESTON, FL--(Marketwired - Dec 8, 2015) - Monaker Group, Inc., ( OTCQB : MKGI ) (the "Company") or ("Monaker"), a technology driven travel and digital marketing company announced today that it has acquired an Internet-based, real-time specialty booking engine developed to consolidate unused timeshare, fractional, and other specialty lodgings rooms for rental from CJ Software ("CJ").

Monaker will incorporate the CJ booking platform into its Nexttrip.com website thus expanding Monaker's vacation rental inventory and allowing consumers to search and book from the hundreds of thousands of unused timeshare units. This unused inventory is global with a large portion in 4 and 5 star hotels and resorts. Consumers will be able to book these fabulous properties in real-time at significant discounts and without fear of any timeshare Member solicitation. Additionally, the platform will provide timeshare Property Managers/Owners a complete management tool. This allows them to add and edit their own properties, monitor inventory bookings and rent properties that would have previously been empty.

Monaker Group Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Bill Kerby, commented, "The acquisition of the CJ Booking Engine, and all IP, is strategic and very complementary to our recently acquired AlwaysOnVacation ("AOV") platform (see the Company's news release dated October 30, 2015). The Alternative Lodging space is getting great traction and growing rapidly, as evidenced by peer companies Airbnb and HomeAway/V.R.O.B. ( NYSE : AWAY ), and Monaker is now well positioned for rapid growth in Alternative Lodging with access to enhanced inventory in the vacation rental space in 2016."

Mr. Kerby added, "The Timeshare and Fractional Ownership markets are comprised of over 700 independent companies and many have no means of marketing or managing their unused inventory. Through this acquisition and integration of the AOV Platform and the CJ Software platform with our NextTrip.com platform, we can offer a very sound solution which further benefits the travel consumer. These two acquisitions have further strengthened the Monaker team with deep experience in travel platforms, booking engines, technology, timeshare and lodging. Our team is working diligently to meet our scheduled launch of the next generation travel platform targeted for early 2016.
