The popup shows four different tabs to list available Trips, Destinations, Activities, and Trip Types. Trips Embedder will insert embed shortcode based on the selection for each active tab.

Note: As trips, embedder add-on inserts different shortcodes to the content editor for each tab, trips will be shown on the basis of settings/selection in the active tab only at a time.
