Bear & Bear was founded over 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 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 securing 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 go on a safari in South Africa, samba in South America or spa in South Beach?  Planning a multi-generational family vacation in Tuscany, a bachelorette party to Vegas, an eco trip to El Salvador or just want to chill in the Caribbean?

Jody has received many accolades and they keep coming.  She has been recognized by Condé Nast Traveler as one of the top Travel Specialists for 8 consecutive years.  In 2008 and 2009, she was recognized as a specialist for ‘Destination Celebrations’.  She was also the cover story in the June/July 2009 issue of Luxury Travel Advisor.

Whether it is corporate or leisure, planning and perfection is what Jody Bear does best.
