A-List Travel Advisors By Travel + Leisure Editors Travel + Leisure Editors Since 1971, Travel + Leisure editors have followed one mission: to inform, inspire, and guide travelers to have deeper, more meaningful experiences. T+L's editors have traveled to countries all over the world, having flown, sailed, road tripped, and taken the train countless miles. They've visited small towns and big cities, hidden gems and popular destinations, beaches and mountains, and everything in between. With a breadth of knowledge about destinations around the globe, air travel, cruises, hotels, food and drinks, outdoor adventure, and more, they are able to take their real-world experience and provide readers with tried-and-tested trip ideas, in-depth intel, and inspiration at every point of a journey. Travel + Leisure Editorial Guidelines Updated on August 8, 2022 Share Tweet Pin Email After two years of border closures and stop-and-start reopenings, it may feel like your dream trip remains out of reach. Time to call a trusted travel advisor, who will stay on top of entry requirements, find the best guides, and step in if there's an unexpected hitch. In Travel + Leisure's annual A-List, our editors spotlight the experts who can help you get back out there—whether that means truffle hunting in Provence, chartering a yacht on the Amazon, or buying out an entire Colorado ranch for a family reunion. Featured Advisor: Jean-Michel Jefferson Jefferson creates getaways in the country's most remote and beautiful spaces, whether it's a boating expedition in the Marlborough Sounds, a helicopter tour of Milford Sound, or a day spent gathering ingredients to make into Maori cuisine. Travel Advisory Board This group, which shares its industry knowledge with the editors of T+L, oversees tens of thousands of individual trips annually. While not all of these 27 experts personally look after clients, many do—you can find them listed under their respective specialties. The rest have teams who excel at orchestrating memorable adventures.
