Although overall revenue increased slightly over the past month, unit sales dipped for this spring break segment on Amazon. This could be reflective of an increasing number of travelers packing lighter or favoring smaller carry-on options such as backpacks to avoid airline baggage fees, combined with a pullback in demand following notable holiday season sales growth.
