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:
-
Punta ArenasExpandA favorite stop on South American and Antarctic cruises, Punta Arenas lies within the spectacular system of fjords that dot the coast of Chile. La Cruz Hill affords commanding views of the Straits of Magellan. Visit Punta Arenas for fascinating museums, quaint restaurants filled with fresh Chilean eats, and ample opportunity to watch local penguins!
-
Mt. Cook National ParkExpandAoraki / Mount Cook, New Zealand's highest mountain, and the eponymous park that surrounds it, are popular with South Island tourists, especially mountaineers and other adventurers. The only way in or out is State highway 80, which also happens to be one of the country's most scenic roads.
-
LafiaExpandLafia is the capital of Nasarawa State in north-central Nigeria, positioned within an agricultural region between the Benue River basin and the uplands farther north.
-
YalobiExpandDiscover a traditional Fijian village nestled between the clear waters of Yalobi Bay and the rugged mountain peaks of Waya Island.
-
PotsdamExpandPotsdam, the capital of Germany’s Brandenburg state, lies just southwest of Berlin and is best known for its grand palaces, landscaped gardens, and role as a seat of Prussian royalty.
-
VictoriaExpandBritish influences are quite evident in Victoria, from afternoon tea times to elegant Victorian architecture. This capital of British Columbia on Vancouver Island provides ample outdoor recreation, with its public parks and access to both the ocean and wilderness. Cyclists will be right at home here, as Victoria boasts a seemingly endless number of bike paths for exploring.
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)
