Complete Your 2011 Holiday Gift List with Luggage …

Sept. 16, 2011 - PRLog -- Weston, FL – 2011 – ‘The Art of Modern Luggage’ hits the streets this busy holiday travel season … and rolls with ease.  Heys USA Group, known leader in travel goods manufacturing with a focus in fashion, hard side luggage has grown industry wide.  “The timing is ideal to give and get hard side luggage during the 2011 holiday season. Luggage is the perfect item to be at the top of every holiday gift list this year. It’s priced right, lasts a long time, and is sure to bring smiles to everyone who receives it,” noted Heys USA President & CEO, Harry Sheikh.

Highlighted travel trends show that the travel industry is only continuing to grow.  Amtrak, according to MSNBC Travel, heads toward a record ridership of 30 million passengers by the end of 2011.  The Cruise Lines International Association forecasts a 6.6% growth in 2011 (Orlando Business Journal). And International Air Transport Association predicts global air travel to increase to 3.3 billion passengers by 2014.  Don’t chance your old traditional luggage getting lost in the crowds, be prepared and grab your Heys USA travel goods before your next trip!

“Hard side luggage is no longer taking a back seat to soft side luggage,” commented Sheikh. “Heys focuses on fashionable, timeless, quality pieces that hit all the trends. Hard side luggage has overcome all the obstacles for why a consumer would ever need to turn to soft side again.”

As the manufacturing leader for the world’s lightest carry-on and lightweight luggage, Heys USA also produces better engineered/easy glide wheel systems to help get you where you need to go; and fast!  More features include flexible materials, zippered closures instead of heavy frames, durable packing shells, and expandability.  Built-in TSA locks, scratch resistant textured finishes, and fashion colors, and you’ve got an inside look of what Heys hard side luggage has to offer. “Our unprecedented growth has been born out of the trusted reputation of our quality products and customer service, and our ability to stay ahead of the fashion curve.  The travel goods market continues to experience demand for the more protective, hard shelled, rolling luggage,” noted Sheikh.

Holiday and year-round travel is anything but slowing down.  With a team of experienced designers and engineers, Heys USA pushes the limits of design and imagination without barriers to create sophisticated, luxurious styles to suit every lifestyle.  Heys USA Group delivers with...
