What Consumers Want in Luggage
Top Suitcase Trends Heard at the Boston Globe Travel Show
The largest consumer-attended travel show in the country!
This year’s event was Feb. 10-12.
Industry experts showcase: Cruise specials Adventure travel trends Global tourism
opportunities International cuisine Entertainment and Travel goods and
luggage (our specialty!)
What is the Boston Globe Travel Show?
With over 1,920 square feet of space, and over 10 different vendors of luggage, we were able to show many different styles of suitcases and travel goods in our booth.
The 24,000 attendees who attended this year’s show provided us with amazing, informational consumer feedback.
What’s It Like?
Quality—Luggage that’s durable, and will ultimately last.
Lightweight—Bags that won’t weigh you down, and will help you adhere to most airlines’ 50-pound limit.
Maneuverability—Luggage that moves easily with spinners or wheels, and other features like comfortable handles.
Warranty—A deciding factor between various brands, bumper-to-bumper warranties attracted the most attention.

Year?
