  "account": "Travel companies are starting to promote summer vacations, offering high discounts and a wide selection of hotels and flights. While discounts of 25, 30, or 50 percent may be tempting, travelers should compare prices carefully. Booking early provides the greatest selection of accommodations and departure times, as well as planning security and a sense of anticipation. According to psychologist Christina Miro, booking a vacation can create a positive feeling that can last through the winter. Travelers can also consider rebooking or cancellation insurance and flexible tariffs, which many providers offer for an additional fee.",
