The city’s motto is “The City of Youth and Ambition”. Garden Grove has been sought out as a tourist destination because of its mild climate, beautiful beaches, diverse attractions and points of interest.  International West is a resort destination that has top-rate hotels and restaurants.  Currently, there are nine hotels and six restaurants that make up International West. To the north of the resort are Disneyland Resort and the Anaheim Convention Center.  This is a 520-acre area, located one-half mile from Disney Anaheim Resort.  With the development and continued expansion of International West, this will help to accommodate the 41 million tourists that visit Orange County, spending approximately $6.5 billion a year.  Another thing that helps the resort is that the Garden Grove Freeway runs east-west, which tremendously helps tourists to find their way around easier.
