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:
-
BukharaExpandFounded in the 1st century this ancient city featured prominently in the Silk Road. It is known as the hub of theology and culture in central Asia while still featuring many beautifully preserved historic sites - including the Ark of Bukhara and Samanid Mausoleum.
-
KushiroExpandKushiro is a port city on the eastern coast of Hokkaido, Japan’s northernmost main island. The city faces the Pacific Ocean and is known for its fishing industry, wetlands, and cool maritime climate. Fog drifting in from the sea is common during warmer months and has become one of Kushiro’s defining natural features.
-
King Island TasmaniaExpandKing Island was discovered in 1798, and was a preferred breeding area for sea elephants and seals. Around the island are many shipwrecks, caused by the rough seas of the Bass Strait.
-
SturbridgeExpandNestled in the scenic heart of central Massachusetts, Sturbridge is a charming town that offers a delightful blend of historical intrigue and natural beauty. One of the town’s prime attractions is the Old Sturbridge Village, a living history museum that brings the early 19th century to life. The village is renowned for its extensive collection of artifacts and its engaging, hands-on exhibits that provide a fascinating look at life in the early 1800s.

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.
