When a Small Travel Power Strip Is Useful

A compact travel power strip is useful when a hotel room gives you one conveniently located outlet and several low-power devices need charging. Instead of scattering chargers around the room, one cord can bring the connection to a bedside table or desk and provide several usable sockets or USB ports.

For travel, size and cord length often matter more than maximum outlet count. Also remember that a power strip does not convert voltage; anything plugged into it still has to be compatible with the local electrical supply.
