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:
-
Þingvellir National ParkExpandThingvellir, a captivating site in Iceland, seamlessly combines natural beauty and historical significance. Located in the Thingvellir National Park, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is a geological wonder where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet. The dramatic landscape features rift valleys and stunning volcanic formations, making it a paradise for hikers and nature enthusiasts.
-
SloveniaExpand>Slovenia, tucked between the Alps and the Adriatic Sea, is a small country with a strong sense of identity and an impressive variety of landscapes. Its capital, Ljubljana, is known for its walkable center and mix of Baroque, Secessionist, and modern architecture. The Ljubljanica River runs through the city and is lined with open-air cafés and artisan shops.
-
PisaExpandPisa, Italy, is more than just its world-famous Leaning Tower; it's a city where history, art, and culture intersect to create a fascinating experience for visitors. The Leaning Tower, part of the Piazza dei Miracoli or Square of Miracles, is an architectural wonder that draws millions each year. Built as a bell tower for the adjacent Pisa Cathedral, its unintended tilt has become a global icon.
-
GalvestonExpandGalveston, Texas, a charming island city along the Gulf Coast, is a delightful blend of history, culture, and seaside leisure. Known for its Victorian architecture and sun-soaked beaches, Galveston offers a rich array of experiences for visitors. The Historic Strand District, with its 19th-century buildings housing shops, galleries, and restaurants, takes visitors back in time to an era of bustling port trade and grand social affairs.
-
KaikouraExpandWhat sets Kaikōura apart are the extraordinary marine encounters that begin just off the shoreline. The Kaikōura Canyon, an underwater gorge that plunges to great depths close to land, creates currents rich with nutrients that attract a remarkable array of sea life year-round. Sperm whales are a common sight here and are frequently spotted on local boat tours. Dusky dolphins twist and leap in large pods, and colonies of New Zealand fur seals laze on rocky outcrops along the coast.
-
HúsavíkExpandNestled on the shores of Skjalfandi Bay in northern Iceland, Husavik offers visitors the unique chance to witness humpback whales, minke whales, and even the occasional blue whale in their natural habitat.

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)
