Destinations
Passport Online has a huge library of destination content. Not only does that information show on offer itineraries, but that same information can be displayed in other ways:
Destination Showcase
The Destination Showcase is a slideshow-type display that will allow you to easily show different locations, and information for those locations. Here is an example of how it will look:
-
Key BiscayneExpandKey Biscayne is a tropical island paradise located just six miles off the coast of Miami. This world-class resort community is a place where you can lie back in a hammock and listen to the rustle of palm fronds in the ocean breeze or stroll along the calm sandy Atlantic shore.
-
Española IslandExpandEspañola Island lies in the southeastern part of the Galápagos archipelago. Highlights of this tropical paradise include Punta Suarez, a popular scenic point for bird watching, and the beaches of Bahía Gardner on the island's north coast.
-
Nangma ValleyExpandNangma Valley, tucked deep within the Karakoram Range of northern Pakistan, is a place where towering granite spires rise dramatically above alpine meadows and clear streams. Located near the small town of Hushé in Gilgit-Baltistan, the valley is often described as a natural amphitheater of peaks. Climbers and trekkers from around the world are drawn to its vertical walls, but the valley’s quiet trails and sweeping views also offer an extraordinary experience .
-
CanterburyExpandSteeped in history, Canterbury, England is a must-visit destination for lovers of medieval charm and religious significance. The centerpiece of this historic city is Canterbury Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that has been a place of Christian worship since the 6th century. As the seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury, it is one of the most important religious buildings in England.
-
Kuala LumpurExpandKuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, is a city where tradition and modernity meet in striking ways. Towering over the skyline are the Petronas Twin Towers, once the tallest buildings in the world, while at street level you’ll find lively markets, ornate temples, and colonial-era architecture.
-
ArgentinaExpandArgentina has everything from historical sites to casinos, warm sunny beaches to beautiful scenery. Although first-class accommodations are not available at all locations, the hospitality is one of the friendliest in the world.
Adding the Destination Showcase
To add the Destination Showcase, make sure you have an unused area on your page to use (an easy way to do this is to add an additional row).
Select Add Content from the unused area:

Destination Showcase Settings
The settings will vary slightly depending on which display type has been selected, but in general they'll look like this:
Title: This will add a title above the destination showcase. It is not required
Title Alignment: If you've added a title, this will determine the justification of that title text.
Alignment: This will allow you to set your showcase to left, right, center, wrap left, wrap right. If your showcase is set to 100% width, the alignment setting won't matter.
Width: The width of the showcase can be set as a pixel width, or percentage. Remember to use percentages if you want the showcase to be responsive to the page width.
Padding: This will put additional space around the showcase (similar to adjusting the width of an picture frame that it sits within)
