Technology and work trips go hand-in-hand. Gone are the days when business travellers just took away a phone and laptop with them. These days, there are gizmos for everything, from packing your luggage to storing your important documents. Here are 10 must-have business travel gadgets for 2018:
1. Uppel USB All-in-one Worldwide Travel Charger
Those hopping from place to place need a charger they can count on. This versatile device covers more than 150 countries including Britain, Singapore, Australia and China. It’s compact, sturdy, and can charge three devices simultaneously.
2. Travalo Travel Perfume Atomizer
Hand baggage liquid restrictions make it virtually impossible to carry perfume over 100ml. That’s where a travel perfume atomizer comes in. A travel perfume atomizer lets you diffuse your favourite fragrances into smaller bottles, perfect for trips away. While there are plenty on the market to choose from, Travalo’s refillable accessory comes highly recommended. It’s leak-proof and easy to use on-the-go.
