Right now, there are plenty of cutting-edge gadgets for tech-savvy business travellers to sink their teeth into. Jetting across the world can be a tiresome chore – especially if you don’t have clever, modern tech solutions to help with travel inconveniences. With so much new tech on the market, here is a useful guide to just a few of the hottest travel gadgets in 2018.
Smart Luggage
The airport plug run is infamous to veteran travellers. With your phone about to die and an important business call scheduled to begin shortly, travellers dash around the terminals in search of plugs, often ending up sitting on floors and next to vending machines. Wouldn’t it be more convenient if you could charge your phone from your luggage case? The folks over at Bluesmart had the same brainwave and have designed a luggage range that has built-in USB charging ports, as well as a scale and tracking device.
GPS Luggage Tags
Losing luggage is a nightmare, especially if it contains suits and skirts for tomorrow’s meeting. Although it usually comes back to you in the end, a lost case may take weeks to be returned. With Trace Me GPS luggage tags, lost cases can be tracked and returned far quicker and more efficiently. This means less waiting around and more certainty about your lost possessions.
Anti-Crease Shirt Transporter
Ironing is time-consuming enough in the comfort of your own home with your own equipment. On a holiday, it can be a nightmare! An anti-crease shirt transporter allows you to transport blouses and shirts neatly without having to iron everything at the other end. Think of it as cosy Tupperware for your nicely ironed clothes.
Mobile Scanner
This clever piece of tech allows you to scan documents and business cards with ease and send them straight to the cloud or your home computer. Mobile scanners are perfect for situations where you need a copy of something and don’t have time to get to a printer or don’t want to take a blurry snap with your phone camera. Plus, taking out a mobile scanner at a client meeting leaves everyone impressed and shows everyone that you mean business.
USB Ink Pen
Combining two of the business traveller’s most essential weapons, this handy USB and ink pen mashup looks cool and is super functional. Travellers might not think twice about losing a pen, but when it’s attached to a USB, it tends to make you more careful. With this gadget in your back pocket, you will always have documents and ink at hand.
Expert Protection
For your new shiny travel gadgets, it is highly recommended that you invest in some quality gadget travel insurance. Keeping new technology protected against damage and loss will help to give you peace of mind on your travels. With high-quality cover, if anything happens to your gadget, travel insurance will be there to ensure that you are protected.
