-Travel + Leisure noted that Jody Bear is a luxury-travel specialist and an A-Lister since 2016. She is one half of the wife-and-husband team behind Bear & Bear Travel. She specializes in high-end celebration travel, weddings, honeymoons, teambuilding, family reunions, organizing private-access activities and stays at world-class properties along the way.

“Jody Bear is someone who continues to thrive as a luxury travel advisor and it’s outstanding that she is once again included in the collection of the world’s best travel advisors,” said Cindy Schlansky, Co-President of Tzell Travel. “With Jody’s many years of travel experience and unparalleled luxury expertise, it’s gratifying to see her again celebrated for constantly delivering premium vacations for her luxury travel clients.”

-Other Tzell advisors returning to the list include Kara Bebell and Harlan deBell, a brother-and-sister team known as the Travel Siblings, who coordinate approximately 500 honeymoons and 35 weddings per year, and take turns jetting off to different locales once a month to scope out the newest hotels, romantic settings, and Instagram-worthy bathrooms. According to Travel + Leisure, they’ve planned everything from an intimate wedding at La Pause hotel outside Marrakesh, to a 150-person, medieval-themed ceremony at the Resort at Pedregal, in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

“Receiving this recognition again is testament to the level of passion and service that Kara Bebell and Harlan deBell offer to their clients,” said Monty Swaney, Co-President of Tzell Travel. “Their in-depth knowledge of what’s trending in the luxury travel market and their network of connections are all part of what they tap into when planning trips for their clients.”
