Abstract
Indonesia with its more than 17,000 islands and its geographical location as tropical country is blessed with many marine tourism destinations such as beautiful beaches and coral reefs, coastal community culture etc., in fact tourism is ranked as 3rd highest foreign income. On the other hand Indonesian government is also committed to promote the use of environmentally friendly new and renewable energy as an alternative to the fossil fuel which highly contribute to the air pollution. In conjunction with government’s program in developing the marine tourism and in using green energy, the research is aimed to design solar powered recreational boat for tourism in Indonesia. The paper is focused on the design of the boat structure such as the hull type, the environmental friendly material for the boat hull, the arrangement of the boat that would suitable to be powered with solar energy etc. For this purpose references are obtained from literature study, experts’ opinion, and previous experiments.
Highlights
Indonesia is the largest archipelagic country in the world consisting of 17,499 islands
Indonesia is geographically located on the equator with high intensity of sun shine, which makes Indonesia very potential to tap renewable energy from sun shine [2]
The utilization of solar energy is very potential for preventing the green house effect, and air pollution from the massive consumption of fossil fuels
Summary
Indonesia is the largest archipelagic country in the world consisting of 17,499 islands. Blessed with huge number of inlands, Indonesia is blessed with abundant of beautiful marine tourism spots such as beaches, coral reefs, coastal community cultures, and islands, which makes Indonesia as one of the world’s most popular tourist destination. The utilization of solar energy is very potential for preventing the green house effect, and air pollution from the massive consumption of fossil fuels. The utilization of solar powered recreational boats is.
