Planning for a vacation in 2022? Try Torrance.
To say the last 24 months have been a challenge may be the understatement of the year. We’ve looked at where we go, who we see and what we do in a whole new light. It’s also become quite apparent that taking time off to enjoy all we’ve been missing is critically important, for both our personal health and well-being. Yet only one-quarter of Americans used all of their earned time off in 2021, according to the U.S. Travel Association, despite 79% stating that vacations are important for their quality of life.
Fortunately, there’s a simple solution, and it’s just a phone call or a web search away. January 25th is National Plan for Vacation Day, a time to encourage Americans to plan their time off in 2022 at the start of 2022, and to consider travel in the U.S.
Planning your vacation time for the year will not only help you avoid losing those precious paid days off, you’ll be happier in general.

WHY TORRANCE
With an infinite number of vacation spots available, let us provide one shining star: Torrance. Situated in the beautiful South Bay of Los Angeles in Southern California, Torrance has it all: refreshing beaches, cool ocean breezes, a variety of entertainment options, incredible cuisine and craft breweries, shopping like you’ve never experienced before, and an urban oasis of scenic points that will have you wondering why you didn’t get here sooner. Better yet, all the action and allure of L.A. is right around the corner, so you can enjoy plenty of time in the City of Angels, then wind down in a luxury suite or cozy room in one of Torrance’s 15 hotels.
Just 11 miles from Torrance is SoFi Stadium, the site of Super Bowl LVI. Whether you’re in town for the big game or just visiting the area’s sights and sounds, drop by the California Welcome Center Torrance, located near the main entrance of the Del Amo Fashion Center, one of the largest shopping malls in the U.S. Although you may have already planned certain aspects of your stay, center representatives can help you fill in the gaps, or guide you to some of the best spots you may not have been aware of to unwind and relax.
