TGA Featured Members
Shorebags
Made from sustainable raw materials in their family factory, ShoreBags's mission is to help reduce the amount of single-use plastic in the environment and empower local communities. They believe in ethical and fair manufacturing practices, transparent supply chains and creating bags that reflect the best in functionality and eco-fashion. “Our eco-friendly bags are made from 100% heavy-duty cotton canvas, which includes content from post-industrial waste,” states Nidhi Sharma. “Meant to be used every day for every purpose, we design each bag with ease-of-use features like pockets, adjustable shoulder straps, and trolley sleeves to name a few. Our bags and accessories are not only beautiful and functional, but they also promote sustainable living for ourselves and the earth.” Nidhi also points out that having their own family factory gives them the ability to responsibly source raw materials and employ those who need to be empowered. As a 100% minority women-owned business, they’ve built a business model that provides opportunities for women in impoverished communities and opposes unfair manufacturing practices of any kind. For more information, visit www.shorebags.com or contact Nidhi Sharma at 219-286-4628 or info@shorebags.com.

TESTIMONIALS
WORDS FROM HAPPY MEMBERS
-
TGA’s media network and its resulting coverage keeps our industry dynamic and gives our customers good reason to retire their old travel gear and buy the latest and greatest.
-
I’ve been a member of TGA for over 20 years, and it continues to be the best decision year after year. We benefit from growth and brand awareness though the association's robust website, a fantastic quarterly magazine, the industry’s biggest and best trade show, and PR services to assist in communicating with international media.
-
TGA’s regular updates are essential in learning about new products, programs and companies. Joining TGA is an easy investment and provides a worthwhile return.
-
TGA is THE vital industry hub! Through their trade publication, Travel Goods Showcase, and the annual International Travel Goods Show, I’m always informed of changing products, trends, policies – everything I need to know to both make informed decisions for my business and give up-to-date information to my customers.
-
The Travel Goods Association continuously supports the growth of its member companies and helps them access promotional opportunities and high level media attention. And, they produce an exceptional trade show!
-
The Travel Goods Association is the worldwide anchor of the travel goods industry. The staff is both professional and amazingly caring. I strongly believe that every company in the travel goods channel should join TGA.
-
Acting as the only unifying force in the industry, the Travel Goods Association is our glue. TGA allows everyone, big or small, the opportunity to feel equal. Department stores and mom and pop stores can discuss their futures side-by-side without one feeling slighted by the other. This effort is their main course. Everything else is dessert.
