MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® How We Tread Right

Since 2008, The Travel Corporation (TTC) has demonstrated our commitment to MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® through the TreadRight Foundation, our not-for-profit organisation.

TreadRight has supported over 50 sustainable tourism projects worldwide, while also guiding our business on matters that reflect our sustainable values – from implementing a pioneering animal welfare policy to an industry leading ban on avoidable single-use plastics.

Our Strategy
How We Tread Right is TTC's new five-year sustainability strategy, which sets the mandate on sustainability at Luxury Gold and our sister travel companies. Our strategy is based on 11 measurable goals, anchored to the United Nations' Global Goals, and were developed to address Luxury Gold's impact on People, the Planet and Wildlife.

People: Community Support and Cultural Preservation
Connect to local communities on your tour with MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® experiences that support employment and the area's local heritage. Our strategy also supports greater diversity and inclusion at Luxury Gold and our global give-back efforts.

Our Heritage in Luxury Travel:

Dear Future Guest
We invite you to discover our family’s legacy in travel and join one of our luxury tours.

Our heritage in luxury hospitality begins with Red Carnation Hotels.

Bea Tollman, my partner in life and business for over 65 years, serves as Founder and President, bringing her extraordinary vision, culinary genius, and incomparable attention to those tiny noticeable touches that make guests feel truly welcome.

Bea is also the guiding visionary behind Uniworld River Cruises, each ship a floating boutique hotel which, through her efforts, are as beautifully appointed and welcoming as those of Red Carnation.

As if that wasn’t enough, it was Bea’s spirit and our shared love of travel that led me to found Luxury Gold. We believe that the greatest tours in life blend carefully planned activities with unexpected discoveries and we created Luxury Gold to do just that.

The planning has been going on for over 100 years, first with my parents and continuing with Bea and me. We have spent our lives discovering our favorite destinations around the world and meeting the people who will welcome you on your holiday.

The unexpected discoveries happen throughout your tour, with plenty of time and space to personalise to your passions, interests, curiosity, tastes and whims – all crafted in real time by your Travelling Concierge.

The resulting tour is extraordinary – turning your travels into gold. We can’t wait to welcome you on your tour.
