Is it worth starting an Etsy shop selling travel-themed digital products in 2026?
Anonymous • in 3 hours • No answers yet
I’m considering opening an Etsy shop focused on travel-themed digital products, using my background in tourism to create things like planners, itineraries, checklists, and other downloadable resources.
I’ve seen mixed opinions about digital downloads and I’m not sure how strong the demand still is, especially with so many similar products already on the platform. I’m not worried about putting in the work, but I do want to be realistic about whether the category is slowing down.
Is selling travel-related digital products on Etsy still a worthwhile opportunity, and what should I evaluate before investing time into building the shop?
