A Historical Look at MKGI's Maupintour

Florida-based Monaker Group – which also has offices in California - is building a portfolio of travel brands that have aimed the company’s trajectory toward successfully taking its share of the $1.3 trillion travel and tourism market.

Among other brands, Monaker is the parent to Maupintour, founded in 1951 by the late Tom Maupin, who purchased a small travel company in the university town of Lawrence, Kansas. Soon after, he began creating escorted vacations, and within several years made tourism history.

In 1956, Maupintour was the first company to send tourists into the Soviet Union after World War II. Because these tours were unprecedented, Maupintour received wide national press coverage that instantly labeled the company as innovative and forward-thinking.

Today, Maupintour is one of the best known and respected names in the travel industry, still anchored by Maupin’s leadership, quality, variety, value and service. As the company states on its website, Maupintour travelers have the highest repeat rate in the industry, with some booking up to 60 vacations with the brand.
