The device works by being placed in virtually any piece of luggage and instantly going to work to [track your luggage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luggage-losers) when you're flying, on a bus or stopped at a hotel. This is thanks to the multiple connectivity options including WiFi, GSM, GPS and [Bluetooth](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tile-bluetooth) that work to keep you connected to your luggage at all times. The Tumi Global Locator features three modes, including Travel Mode that will track the bag every 20-30 minutes, Hotel Mode to let you know if your bag moves from its room, and Proximity Mode to warn you if it moves too far from you. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Smart Luggage:** Developing luggage products with advanced technology that offer travelers a more secure and convenient travel experience. - **Location Tracking Devices:** Creating devices or apps that help travelers keep track of their belongings or loved ones while they are traveling. - **Internet of Things (iot) for Travel:** Integrating connectivity and location tracking technology in luggage and other travel accessories to enhance the travel experience and provide more peace of mind for travelers. ### Where This Applies - **Travel Accessories:** Developing and marketing luggage products with integrated location tracking and smart features that improve the travel experience for customers. - **Consumer Electronics:** Creating and manufacturing location tracking devices or apps that are specifically designed for travelers and other consumers who need to keep track of their possessions or loved ones. - **Internet of Things (iot):** Developing and promoting IoT technologies and infrastructure that support smart, connected luggage products and other travel accessories that make travel more efficient, secure, and enjoyable. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Location-Tracking Luggage Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taglock-travel-lock.md) - [Trackable Smart Luggage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casesafe.md) - [Discreet Trackable Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qantas-x-july.md) - [Luggage Tracking Safety Technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lost-luggage-tracker.md) - [Mini Luggage-Compatible Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airtag.md) - [Trackable Travel Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trackable-passport-wallet.md) - [Trackable Travel Luggage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tag-smart-collection-by-samsara.md) - [Connected Luggage Tags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knog-scout-travel.md) - [Airline Baggage Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luggage-losers.md)
