During TTC’s years of step-change and expansion, Tollman became increasingly mindful of the unique relationship between travellers and the places and people they visited across his portfolio of companies. In 2008, he established and chaired The Travel Corporation Conservation Foundation (TTC-CF), one of the travel industry’s first sustainable organizations focused on community empowerment and conservation partnerships.  Through the TTC-CF, which was renamed The TreadRight Foundation in 2012, Tollman challenged the travel industry to measure tourism’s success beyond bottom-line growth.

Today, TreadRight supports over 55 projects worldwide, has developed a five-year sustainability strategy aligned with United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, and requires all TTC brands to embed measurable sustainability efforts across the business. In 2020 TreadRight was recognized in a Harvard University Case Study for its measurable sustainable tourism development. Its consumer-facing “#MakeTravelMatter” campaign engages travelers in TreadRight’s efforts, raising awareness of tourism’s global impact and encouraging consumers to make more responsible travel choices. Through TreadRight, TTC has ambitiously pledged to go carbon neutral by 2030.

Niall Gibbons, CEO of Tourism Ireland said ‘We in Ireland are eternally grateful for the lasting impact and legacy of Stanley Tollman. His vision, positivity and values left a positive influence on us all. The investment of Red Carnation Hotels into Ashford Castle has meant Ireland continues to punch above its weight on the world stage. The consequential impact on rural Ireland cannot be overstated.”

Tollman was a true bon vivant, a once-in-a-lifetime character that was always at the ready with an anecdote, bit of wisdom or well-delivered one-liner. Though never one to court the spotlight – Forbes Magazine famously called Tollman’s vast enterprise “the biggest travel company you’ve never heard of,” he counted global figures, such as politicians, movie stars and prominent business leaders, as some of his closest friends. And while his work garnered numerous international awards, his proudest accomplishment was the strength of his close-knit family, to whom he was supremely devoted. 

Tollman’s life, however, was not without its struggles as chronicled in his 2012 autobiography, Recollections of a Lucky Man.

A relentless innovator, entrepreneur, and hotelier at heart, the organization Tollman built on service, sustainability, and value, has continued to flourish. Three of the Tollman’s four children are today central to TTC operations, namely Brett, Toni and Vicki, as are Gavin, the son of his late brother Arnold and Michael, a nephew. Beyond them, grandchildren are now forming part of the fourth generation of Tollmans within the expanding operation. Tollman is also survived by his wife and beloved life partner, Beatrice.
