TTI Travel Management Company Offers 5 Tips to Use Your Smartphone Wisely

From ubiquitous WiFi to the cell phones growing out of our hands, we’re more dependent on technology than ever. When you travel internationally, your smartphone can work to your advantage – and cause you a lot of grief. TTI Travel, NYC’s professional travel management company specializing in trade show and business travel, offers five tips to use your smartphone wisely during your travels.

Here's what you need to know:

·	Check in with your cell service provider. You won’t want any surprises on your cell phone bill. Before you leave, decide if you want to purchase an international service plan or travel on airplane mode.

·	Research technology differences. You may take your phone charger for granted at home, but when you travel internationally you’ll find a host of differently shaped electrical outlets. Whether you're traveling to Europe or Asia, be sure you're prepared with appropriate adapters.

·	Snap a picture of your luggage. If you’ve ever lost luggage, you know the difficulty of describing your baggage under pressure. Now imagine doing it through a language barrier. Snap a photo on your phone and let your picture speak a thousand words.

·	Learn some key phrases. Phone apps like Duolingo and Google Translate are a great way to pick up a few phrases to help you communicate abroad. “Please” and “thank you” will go a long way.

·	Alert your credit card. Don’t risk the credit card company putting a freeze on your account due to suspicious charges overseas. Most credit cards now offer an easy online system to inform the company when and where you’ll be traveling.

TTI Travel takes the guesswork out of your travels by thoroughly inspecting hotel accommodations in advance of trade shows and business travel to ensure a smooth, successful event. To learn more about their full range of trade fair travel solutions,

IWA OutdoorClassics 2015: Larger and more international than ever before

·	1,383 exhibitors, international share 79 percent

·	41.748 trade visitors from all over the world

·	Everything to do with hunting, shooting sport, outdoor

and security equipment
After four intensive trade fair days from 6th to 9th March 2015, NürnbergMesse, the organizer of IWA OutdoorClassics, the world's most important trade fair for “Target Sports”, “Nature Activities” and “Protecting People”, gave a positive assessment of the event: even after more than four decades IWA OutdoorClassics continues to become more attractive and appealing each year.
The opening of IWA OutdoorClassics 2015 by the Bavarian Minister of the Interior and the Mayor of the City of Nuremberg along with the Finnish mountaineer and entrepreneur, Veikka Gustafsson, was still very much in progress on Friday morning, here the total of 1,383 exhibitors (2014: 1,336) in the nine exhibition halls were already delighted with the very keen, positive response from the trade visitors. By the time the doors had closed on this year's event on Monday afternoon, 41.748 trade visitors, around two thirds of them from 123 countries all over the world (2014: 39,244 trade visitors, 117 countries), had informed themselves about new products, innovations and trends.*

Every year in early March the trade world comes together at the Nuremberg Exhibition Centre for the sector’s most important international showcase for hunting and shooting sports, outdoor equipment along with civilian and official agency/authority security equipment, which now offers a multi-thematic range of products and services covering all aspects of classic outdoor activities. In this connection, new and renowned companies have thus further expanded the list of exhibitors at this year’s fair; for example outdoor experts Haglöfs, X-Bionic, Helsport or Dachstein as well as two of the largest angling equipment manufacturers in the world: D.A.M. Neue Deutsche Angelgeräte Manufaktur from Germany and Fladen Fishing from Sweden.

After Germany the leading exhibitor nations were the USA, Italy, Great Britain, Turkey, China and France, the Czech Republic, Spain and Austria. IWA OutdoorClassics is organized by NürnbergMesse, while the honorary sponsors of the event are the Verband Deutscher Büchsenmacher und Waffenfachhändler (German Gunsmiths and Traders Association, VDB) and the Verband der Hersteller von Jagd-, Sportwaffen und Munition (Hunting, Sports Guns and Ammunition Manufacturers Association - JSM).

Make a note of the date!

The next IWA OutdoorClassics will be held as scheduled from Friday, 4th to Monday, 7th March 2016 at the Nuremberg Exhibition Centre.
The event is open to trade visitors only. Children and young people under the age of 18 are not admitted to the fair.
