6 Travel Essentials Your Clients Didn’t Know They Needed

Travel Is Booming—And So Is Travel Promo

According to ASI’s Q4 2024 report, the travel and lodging sector made up just 8% of end-buyer markets. But don’t be fooled—that stat doesn’t tell the full story. Travel-related promotional products stretch across multiple industries, especially when you take a closer look at markets like healthcare, business, and team-building.

Think about it: travel nurses and therapists, pharmaceutical reps, and social workers are all hitting the road regularly. Leadership retreats and annual team conferences are ramping up as companies bring their people together. And with summer right around the corner, the busiest travel months of the year are about to take off.

Here are six promo products your clients didn’t even know they needed—designed for anyone on the go, from the daily commuter to the cross-country traveler:

1. WBP- Recycled Water Bottle Pouch
It’s the add-on your water bottle didn’t know it needed. This recycled pouch straps right onto bottles of all sizes and has room for your small must-haves—think earbuds, keys, or a few cards. The WBP comes is a variety of colors and is the perfect giveaway for eco-conscious clients or anyone who's always on the move.

2. BTK-FDP - Business Travel Kit
The BTK-FDP is packed with travel-size shampoo, toothpaste, tissues, and more, this kit is ready for both weekend getaways and longer trips. There’s still room to add a few personal items too. An easy pick for giveaways with real, everyday value.
