These days, it’s not uncommon to see holidaymakers take an array of modern-day gadgets with them as they embark on an adventure abroad. Whether you’re going on vacation with the girls or enjoying a family getaway, you’ll most definitely take some sort of gadget with you. It’s just the way of the world now. 

Overall, the travel industry has witnessed a move towards more technology-based operations and a selection of innovative solutions, which have arguably made the industry function better. It’s certainly more convenient to book holidays online than visiting a travel agent. Then there’s the option of hosting plane tickets on our smartphone devices. This all accompanies the possibility of checking in online and a range of other advancements we can make use of today. 

Technology-based innovation is impacting the way we travel, too, particularly when assessing the sheer amount of products we can now take with us on vacation. The most popular piece of tech people tend to pack with them is a smartphone device, perhaps to stay in the loop with work emails or even for entertainment purposes like playing casino games for real money or watching an Amazon Prime documentary. Alongside this, people are packing tablets, laptops, sophisticated cameras, and a whole lot more. There are some travel-specific products also, such as translation devices and even sound machines to help any little ones drift off to sleep at night more easily. The options are certainly comprehensive. 

Innovation is showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon either. In fact, it will surely continue to grow. In the meantime, though, here is a look at some of the popular gadgets holidaymakers are turning to at the moment. 

Pocketalk S

A device which perfectly illustrates just how far innovation has come, the Pocketalk S is a highly sophisticated language translator. It can translate up to 82 languages with a simple touch of a button, it can even translate signs and written words thanks to its text-to-translate camera, and it’s small in size and easy to carry around. 

C-Gear Original Sand-Free Mat

Not many people like the feel of sand on their feet. There is no denying that it can find its way into the most annoying of crevices, too. If you’re not too partial to the odd grain of sand, then consider investing in a C-Gear Original Sand-Free Mat. It’s in the name, but sand simply refuses to stick to it. Initially intended to be used for the military, this is a well-designed and clever product ideal for any sand-haters out there.

Capture2 Gimbal

Capturing impressive holiday snaps can be tricky, but you’ll certainly stand more of a chance with a contraption like the 3-Axis Smartphone Gimbal. It will hold your phone steady while also coming with features like auto face tracking and a variety of time-lapse modes.
