Abstract
Coastal areas worldwide, including South Korea, are actively promoting the marine leisure industry as an economic growth driver. With the emergence of experiential consumption trends today, there is a growing demand for underwater leisure activities, highlighting the need for various underwater transportation devices to meet market demands. Based on the government's policy to develop the marine mobility industry, this study aims to conduct a case analysis of tourist and commercial submersibles and propose new designs accordingly. The proposed design is an 11-seater tourist submersible equipped with high-efficiency electric batteries and AI-based autonomous systems to enhance efficiency and safety, thereby maximizing the scalability of marine mobility services while protecting sustainable tourism and economic productivity. The next-gen submersible opens up new dimensions for underwater tourism, providing immersive experiences to travelers. Furthermore, it presents environmental management, such as ecotourism in coastal areas and marine protected areas, fostering future possibilities for expanding the marine leisure industry, promoting environmental conservation, and stimulating economic growth.
