With the reduction in naval spending after 1990, the Chamber turned to tourism and conventions. <ref> Abraham J.

The late-20th-century San Diego Chinese community is made up of a heterogeneous population that includes Cantonese-speaking, Mandarin-speaking, and Hokkien-speaking members, as well as those from a variety of places of origin, including Southeast Asia.
