       <\/span>I.           \n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/b>Web Site Requirements<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n

                             \n<\/span>1.           \n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/i><\/b>Tourism<\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n\n

It is important\nthat I-Spy and Nation reach a customer base outside the local area. These are\nsome methods in which this can be achieved.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n

A web community\nprovides customers with a place to experience the club atmosphere outside the\nclub, and allows I-Spy \/ Nation with a greater opportunity to know the customer\nbase in detail. It is a good opportunity for the web site to become profitable.\nNation has been given an opportunity with the unfortunate loss of the Speakeasy\nCaf\u00e9. Currently, Seattle is without this type of service. It is not the\nintention of this document to imply that I-Spy or Nation can fill this void,\nbut rather partially answer the market demand by shading the area between\nInternet enthusiasts and club goers.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n\n
