    header: "Destination"
    options:
      - label: "Europe"
        description: "European countries"
      - label: "Asia"
        description: "Asian countries"
      - label: "Americas"
        description: "North/South America"
      - label: "Other"
        description: "Other regions"
    multiSelect: false
  - question: "What time of year will you be traveling?"
    header: "Season"
    options:
      - label: "Spring (Mar-May)"
        description: "Mild temperatures"
      - label: "Summer (Jun-Aug)"
        description: "Warm/hot weather"
      - label: "Fall (Sep-Nov)"
        description: "Cooling temperatures"
      - label: "Winter (Dec-Feb)"
        description: "Cold weather"

Currency: Local currency and exchange considerations
Language: Official language(s) and common phrases
Popular attractions: Top 5-7 must-see places
