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:

 

Slideshow placeholder
Chobe River
The Chobe River forms the northern boundary of the Chobe National Park. Animal lovers and safari enthusiasts know it as the place where the elephants congregate during winter's dry season and migrant birds are in full color during the wet summer months. The river itself is actually a section of the Cuando River, known as the Chobe from the seasonal lake Liambesi to its outflow at the Zambezi River.
Volterra
Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, Volterra offers a captivating journey through time with its well-preserved medieval charm and Etruscan roots. The city's history is evident as you wander through its narrow, winding streets, flanked by ancient walls that date back to the Etruscan period. The Roman Theater, built in the 1st century AD, is a testament to the city's significance in antiquity and provides an evocative glimpse into Volterra’s storied past.
Whitsunday Island
The Whitsunday Islands sit in the heart of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, where more than 70 islands rise from wide blue seas and offer an invitation to explore. Whitsunday Island itself is the largest of this group, known internationally for its ribbon of white silica sand stretching over seven kilometers at Whitehaven Beach. This sand feels cool underfoot even in warm sunshine because it’s made of nearly pure silica carried there by ancient ocean currents.
Colombo
Colombo, the commercial capital of Sri Lanka, is a vibrant city where colonial architecture meets modern skyscrapers. Visitors can explore historic sites such as the Gangaramaya Temple, the Dutch Hospital, and the Colombo National Museum, which reflect the city’s rich cultural heritage and diverse history.
Grand Bahama Island
One of the most beautiful islands in the Bahamas, Grand Bahama Island is home to the renowned capitol city of Freeport/Lucaya. Grand Bahama Island offers lovely beaches, three national parks, a variety of natural wonders including an extensive system of underwater caves, and a vast array of marine life. The towns on the island range from the small and peaceful to the resort-filled city with its casinos and Bahamas entertainments.
Negombo
Negombo, located just north of Colombo and minutes from Sri Lanka’s main international airport, offers a coastal town experience steeped in layered history and local life. Once a vital trading post for cinnamon during the colonial era, Negombo has seen Portuguese, Dutch, and British influence with each leaving a mark on its architecture and culture. The Dutch-era canal system, still used by fishermen and local vendors today, runs through parts of the town and can be explored by boat or bicycle.

    Lalibela is the name of the township which King Lalibela, later canonized, ruled in the 12th century. At his command, eleven monolithic churches were hewn out of living rock. The churches are unique because they are not carved into rock but were freed from it entirely

  • Tomar
    Expand
    Tomar sits on the Nabão River in central Portugal as a place where medieval history and everyday life meet in welcoming streets and grand monuments. Just outside the convent walls lies the Pegões Aqueduct, an impressive feat of engineering more than 6 kilometers long that once carried water from distant springs to the hilltop site. Some sections of its arches rise more than 30 meters above the valley floor, making it a striking backdrop for photos.
