About Us

Bear & Bear was founded nearly 30 years ago and is now an affiliate of the Tzell Travel Group, the 4th largest travel company in America.   Jody Bear is a travel consultant specializing in travel management for the fashion and beauty industry, as well as other sophisticated and savvy clientele.  As a result, she understands their sensibilities and has the experience and know-how to get her clients what they want, when they want it.

Jody constantly travels the world.  One of her talents is discovering the 'hotels du jour' and using her savvy to secure reservations when others can't.  It's all about who you know...and Jody knows them all... she counts hotel directors and managers around the world as personal friends. Whether it is for business or pleasure, you will never be one of the unlucky few who cannot get a room during a sold out situation.  Jody will deliver.
 
Want to ski the Swiss Alps, go on a safari in South Africa or visit the super lodges of New Zealand?  Considering a vacation in Tuscany or a bike tour through Provence?  Maybe you just want to chill in the Caribbean or shop in South Beach?  Planning is what Jody does best.

Since Jody was a Virgin Galactic Space agent and has sold the space shuttle being launched in 2009, it gives added meaning to the phrase, ‘discovering new destinations’!

Jody has received many accolades and they keep coming.  She has been recognized by Condé Nast Traveler as one of the top travel agents in the world for 8 consecutive years. In 2008, she was recognized as a specialist for ‘Destination Celebrations’.
