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:
-
Santa CruzExpandLocated 75 miles south of San Francisco, Santa Cruz is a vibrant and laidback city on the central coast of California. Settled by Spanish Missionaries in the late 18th century, Santa Cruz has become a coastal paradise for surfers, students, and lovers of nature. Nestled between Wilder Ranch State Park and Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park, University of California, Santa Cruz, is the city’s leading research institution.
-
Olympic PeninsulaExpandThe Olympic Peninsula occupies the far northwest corner of Washington State, where mountains, rainforest, and coastline meet within a relatively compact area.
-
MaltaExpandMalta is a Mediterranean gem known for its warm climate, stunning coastline and vibrant culture. Whether wandering through its historic cities, relaxing by the sea, or discovering its unique traditions, visitors will find endless reasons to explore this island nation.
-
CheyenneExpandIncorporated in 1867, it is the capital of the state of Wyoming. Gold mining has been a major industry here.
-
DurangoExpandVictoria de Durango rises on a high plateau Mexico’s Sierra Madre Occidental, founded in 1563 by Francisco de Ibarra. Its streets trace layers of history: the historic center holds the most listed buildings in northern Mexico and remains a notable stop on the Camino Real de Tierra Adentro, now a UNESCO World Heritage route.
-
DresdenExpandDresden, the capital of Saxony, is a city where history, culture, and beauty seamlessly intertwine. Known as the "Florence on the Elbe," Dresden boasts a stunning array of baroque and rococo architecture that captivates visitors from around 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:
Select Destination Showcase as the Page Element.
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)
