Promo On The Go: The Gear Travelers Need And Want
After a few years of pandemic lockdowns – and cabin fever – people are eager to fly the friendly skies and sail the seven seas. As Travel + Leisure magazine put it, “If 2022 was the year of wading back into travel, then 2023 is the year of diving in head first.”
Not only do we plan to take more trips, we also plan to spend more money on travel, according to survey data collected by American Express Travel. Their 2023 Global Travel Trends Report reveals that 79% of Gen Z and millennial respondents see leisure travel as an important budget priority. Business travel is up, too, as conferences and other events lure in-person attendees.
As anyone who’s endured long security lines at the airport or gotten stuck in traffic trying to get out of town for the weekend can attest, travel can be stressful. But having the right gear on hand can make it a little less daunting. With more trips planned worldwide, the demand for travel accessories like pillows, blankets and bags is expected to expand the global travel accessories market value from roughly $55 billion this year to $103.8 billion by 2033.
