Traveling is exciting and hard at the same time. International luggage standards are set by airports and airlines, and passengers need a variety of travel accessories to help them travel in style and comfort.
The UN World Tourism Organization says that 1.4 billion people travel to other countries every year. If you want to start an online business, this shows you that there is a huge market for travel.
But where will you get the things you want to sell? Today, I’ll tell you about the best wholesale suppliers of travel accessories in the US, UK, and China.
Gem Imports
This is a UK-based company that sells more than just travel items. As a wholesaler, it also offers dropshipping services, but only to places in the UK and Europe.
Some of the things you can buy here are:
- Luggage strap
- Backrest that you can blow up
- Kids luggage tags Padlocks
- Bands that keep mosquitoes away
- Dress bags Neck pillows
Most of the time, you have to buy by the box. For example, a dress bag costs only £0.95 per unit. But you have to buy a whole box, which has 24 pieces. You will have to pay at least £22.80.
On average, it takes between three and five business days to get the item. Gem Imports only takes back items that are broken. You can’t just change your mind and ask for a refund.
If you think the item is broken, you have to tell the delivery person to not bring it to you and send it back. You have five days to tell the management about this problem. If you don’t, you won’t be able to get a refund.
Dina International
Dina International is a company from the UK that sells travel accessories for both air travel and travel on land.
Some examples of things you can buy here are:
- Luggage tags
- Luggage strap
- Padlocks
- Heavy-duty bungee
You have to make an account before you can buy anything. The cost of delivery depends on where the package is going. Most of the time, the company sends packages to the UK, the Scottish Highlands, and Northern Ireland.
Barclaycard and PayPal take care of all the payments. The business takes all of the major credit cards.
Dina International also ships to other countries, but you won’t have to pay when you check out. Instead, the system will tell you to get in touch with their customer service team. You need to give them the details, and they will tell you how to pay for transactions that take place in other countries.
If you want to order a lot, you have to get in touch with them first. Representatives from the company will give you a discount price and let you know if your order is still available. Also, you can see the product in person if you go to their store in Leicester, UK, which is called Cash & Carry.

Note that you can get a refund within 30 days of placing the order, not 30 days of getting the item. If you want a replacement, the company will pay to ship the old one back to them.
In addition to the policy on refunds, they also offer a 12-month warranty on how long their products will last. Within 12 months, you can return any item that broke.
