Build a Travel Search Engine
Creating a travel search engine is accomplished by using a search engine company's Custom Search Engine capabilities. Using a CSE enables you to select criteria and specific websites to be searched. The results can be displayed on a separate website, delivered as an RSS feed or a unique link to the search engine company's website where your customized search is displayed. By creating a search engine with only travel-related websites, your search results will only be from those sites.

Get a Job as a American Express Travel Consultant (Agent)
My mother once told me this - "Everyone has to work so why not work where you get perks you like". She made a lot of sense.

That document will contain on one sheet (or two, depending on the length of the trip) all of the information the traveler needs to know. Here's an easy way to create one.
