Market Needs:

One of the problem with tourists is while looking for information about a destination they often have to sort through hundreds of search results about a particular topic and this is time consuming. Without a guide, visitors become discouraged and give up.

Since there will be an implementation of a blog on the website, visitors can check the events occurring when they are expecting to come visit San Diego.
