The 30-day voting period has ended, and during that time an overwhelming number of members cast their e-votes in support of TGA's Slate of Nominees for the 2013-2014 Board of Directors. Thanks to everyone who exercised their very important privilege as a member of this Association and voted!
TGA is celebrating its 75th anniversary throughout the year, and we want to hear from you. The next issue of Travel Goods Showcase will have a feature on industry milestones of the past 75 years. We would love for you, our members and friends, to share any special pieces of memorabilia, antique travel goods, or other stories or items that you think would help tell the story of the most important piece of TGA – its membership. To submit information for the Showcase feature, please contact TGA's Kate Ryan, 774-929-5223.
Travel goods sales jumped in 2012, but at a price, according to a new report released today by the Travel Goods Association (TGA). Travel goods are defined as luggage, backpacks, travel/sports bags, business cases/computer bags, handbags, personal leather goods, and luggage locks. TGA estimates that sales of travel goods in 2012 returned to pre-recession levels, with U.S. consumers spending an estimated $25.5 billion in 2012 on travel goods, a rise of 20.2% from 2011.
