HomeLegacy

With Brendan Vacations, you’ll enjoy the finest end-to-end travel experience thanks to a travel legacy that spans a century. Founded by pioneering South African hotelier and restauranteur the late Stanley Tollman and his wife Bea, The Travel Corporation has grown from humble beginnings in 1920, into a portfolio of over 40 travel and tourism brands and luxury hotels, still owned and run by the Tollman family.

OUR TRAVEL FAMILY

The Celts share the Tollman family’s deeply ingrained hospitality roots; one of warm welcomes, care for wellbeing and a good story as an integral part of a love and commitment to travel, specifically for us in Ireland and Scotland. When The Travel Corporation acquired Brendan Vacations it was clear that the company’s legacy for over 50 years has been to honor its homelands through creating memorable vacations for guests cumulating in legacy of decades of dedication, determination and dreams. TTC and Brendan Vacations equally share a commitment to preserving the very reasons visitors seek out the Celtic Isles.

You can see it in the abundant stories, great passion, laughter and the ever-present mantra application to take everything and everyone personally. It’s why Brendan celebrates its “Blue Door” location at prestigious Merrion Square in Dublin. The strength of that family bond is why a visit to Ireland’s Iconic Ashford Castle, once owned by the Guinness family, restored by the Tollman’s, is possible. That pride of place and passion for service, these and more are the reasons why Brendan Vacations is proud to be part of The Travel Corporation.
