We are thrilled to announce that Zachary Rabinor, founder and CEO of Journey Mexico, has once again been confirmed on the Condé Nast Traveler’s Top Travel Specialists list for 2025, marking his 15th consecutive year receiving this prestigious recognition.
An Acknowledgment of Travel Expertise
Each year, Condé Nast Traveler curates a list of the world’s most distinguished travel specialists—visionaries with deep expertise in their destinations, an extensive network of local connections, and a proven track record of delivering extraordinary journeys.
For travelers seeking the very best, this list serves as a trusted resource, ensuring that every experience is curated by the most knowledgeable professionals in the industry.
What does it take to maintain such consistent recognition? For Zach, it’s about passion, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to crafting meaningful experiences for each individual traveler.
Beyond Awards: The Journey Mexico Pledge
While this accolade is personal, Zach sees it as an opportunity to express his gratitude to the travelers who have placed their trust in him and the whole Journey team over the years.
“The Top Travel Specialist designation carries immense value—not just for me, but for our entire team. It’s a reflection of the trust our clients place in us to create unforgettable experiences, and it reinforces our commitment to delivering nothing less than the extraordinary.”
At Journey Mexico, premium travel goes beyond five-star accommodations—it’s about offering unparalleled access to Mexico’s most captivating destinations, rich cultural heritage, and awe-inspiring natural wonders.
Whether it’s a private, after-hours visit to Chichén Itzá, a curated mezcal tasting with Mexico’s top producers, or a guided expedition to hidden cenotes with a Maya archaeologist, every journey is designed to inspire, delight, and offer a fresh perspective.
A Commitment to Sustainable Luxury
For Zach, this recognition is not just a celebration of past achievements but a call to keep innovating and evolving.
“Over the past decade, we’ve grown not only in our expertise but also in our commitment to sustainability and positive impact. Our B Corp Certification, Positive Impact Fund, and Partners initiatives are tangible proof of our belief that ethical exploration should be both extraordinary and meaningful.”
This dual focus on excellence and responsibility is what sets Journey Mexico apart—and what continues to earn Zach and his team the trust of discerning travelers and industry leaders alike.
A Full House of Travel Experts
The good news doesn’t stop there. As Zach emphasizes, success in the travel industry is never a solo endeavor—it’s a team effort.
We are proud to share that Javier Echecopar, co-founder and Managing Director of Journey Costa Rica, and Mikael Castro, co-founder and Managing Director of Journey Brazil, have also been named on the 2025 Condé Nast Traveler Top Travel Specialists list!
