A travel reservation portal could allow the traveller to spend the commission in a goodgifts.org-like shop (See: Semipostal stamp for email) The travel industry may dislike when the traveller is attracted through an immediate personal advantage financed with commission, so this variant of the shop shouldn't be able to send gift vouchers or cards the way goodgifts.org does. (It could be seen as a personal advantage)

One could form a non-profit organization to operate a travel reservation portal to provide funding for the associated charities. The portal could make use of Opodo and Pegasus, to allow travellers the full convenience of Opodo while allowing hotel-only reservations to provide more funding.

Opodo pays

• up to 1% for flights
• up to 5% for hotels
• up to 5% for cars

and can reserve holiday packages, rail + hotel etc.

Pegasus

• allows to collect the full commission of 8% (to 12%) for hotels.
