Four Tzell Travel Group Agents Earn Place on Travel + Leisure’s 2015 A-List of Top Travel Advisors
Four Tzell Agents receive recognition for their specific areas of travel expertise.
New York, NY (September 22, 2015) — New York-based Tzell Travel Group announced today that four of its agents – Harlan deBell, Kara Bebell, Jody Bear and Ellen LeCompte – have been included on Travel + Leisure’s distinguished 2015 A-List of Top Travel Advisors, which was just released by the influential consumer travel magazine. The Tzell agents were recognized for their specific expertise on various destinations and travel niches. In its introduction of the list, Travel + Leisure notes that the “14th annual A-List showcases the best specialists in the business – the people who have firsthand knowledge of destinations on the rise, can get you into sold-out hotels, and provide the best insider travel tips.”
“The honor of being recognized by Travel + Leisure, an extremely influential publication, demonstrates the top tier service Tzell agents are renowned for providing to clients, always going beyond expectations to provide the highest quality of service,” said Tzell President Barry Liben. “I’d like to personally congratulate Harlan, Kara, Jody and Ellen on being recognized for their expertise, exceptional abilities and commitment for routinely making each travel experience unique and memorable for their clients.”
The sibling duo that make up The Travel Siblings, deBell and Bebell, are once again recognized for their expertise in weddings and honeymoons, as well as now for pet travel. With deep relationships within the global wedding industry – ranging from florist, caterers and confectioners to hoteliers and resorts – the duo have made a name in going the extra mile to make couples dream weddings come true. “They are often on site at destination weddings, and have planned everything from an intimate party at La Pause hotel, outside Marrakesh, Morocco, to a 150-person, medieval-themed wedding at the Resort at Pedregal, in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Is your pooch in the ceremony? The siblings are also experts in international pet travel,” explains Travel + Leisure.
Jody Bear, of Bear & Bear Travel returns to the list for her expertise in destination celebrations and family travel. “Bear typically works with a discerning clientele who depend on her to create once-in-a-lifetime commemorative events, so she makes a point of knowing the destinations she’s working with intimately. In preparation for a family of six traveling to South Africa to celebrate Christmas, Bear jumped on a plane to handpick their guides, restaurants, and accommodations. She also specializes in around-the-world travel, often by private jet,” notes Travel + Leisure.
This year Travel + Leisure recognized Ellen LeCompte once again not only for her expertise in travel in the United Kingdom, but France as well. Travel + Leisure noted, “LeCompte – who went to school in England and lives part-time in a 17th-century cottage in the Cotswolds – will satisfy even the most zealous Anglophile. She can book special tours of Highclere Castle, where Downton Abbey is filmed, arrange tea with prominent members of the aristocracy, and secure box seats at Manchester United games.”
