5 must-haves for your next tropical work trip

Are you planning a work trip for the whole office or leadership team? Imagine this: Your new office for the week has palm trees swaying, waves crashing and birds chirping in the background. There’s nothing better than a tropical getaway, especially when it’s away from the office, but there are certain products you may not remember to pack. Like you give careful consideration to planning transportation to your vacation, accommodations, restaurant reservations, and activities to do while you’re there, packing things to make the trip run a little smoother is also crucial. It’s unlikely HR will be reminding you to pack these popular travel (and some unsuspecting) products, so we got you covered. 

Getting out of the office for a few days should be loads of fun, not stressful. These products will set you up for success against rain, heat, and the environment that comes with most tropical trips. If it starts raining, you are sweating, or kids in the pool are splashing, these products will be your tools for success. It’s not every week that you get to take your computer and meetings to the tropics, so come prepared and enjoy every minute of the trip.
