WELCOME
 to the art of travelling
 in style
 It is unbelievable how much our world has
 changed in a short time. We have all been forever
 imprinted with memories of sheltering away from
 our friends and family, taking extraordinary
 measures to stay healthy and longing to return to
 the things we love—like travel.
 Being part of a family-run company that’s been in
 business for over 100 years and is proudly debt
 free, means you can travel with the reassurance
 that we have put numerous new measures in place
 to elevate our hygiene standards and protocols.
 Smaller groups and more personal space on our
 coaches allow you to travel as part of a sociable
 group and still maintain your physical distance.
 The well-being of our guests and team has always
 been, and always will be, our top priority.
 In 2021 we are excited to announce trips to
 Latin America for the first time. From Peru
 to Patagonia and Argentina to the Atacama
 Desert, you’ll be able to delve into the ancient
 archaeology and rich cultural and natural
 heritage that this region is famed for.
 You can also witness the vibrant fall foliage
 of New England, and dine out on traditional
 fresh lobster Maine style in a waterfront
 restaurant in Bar Harbor.
 We continue to support local businesses
 and communities during these exceptional
 times and no matter where you go, you’ll enjoy
 seamless stress-free travel as we share our passion
 for travel with you.

 A FAMILY LEGACY IN TRAVEL
 In 1920, Evelyn and Solomon Tollman laid the foundation for
 what would become TTC by opening a small hotel in Paternoster,
 150 km up the Atlantic coast from Cape Town, South Africa.
 It was in that hotel that the family’s passion for service developed.
 Solomon Tollman treated every guest as though they were his only
 guest, welcoming each with the warmth and hospitality he had not
 found in his own travels. Working day and night, he built that
 hotel into a thriving business. In the process, he defined the family
 legacy: Driven by Service.
 While much has changed over the past 100 years, this passionate
 Founder of TTC Solomon Tollman with his wife Evelyn focus has remained exactly the same, and is precisely the attitude
 that defines each brand within The Travel Corporation today.
