MARAZUL EXPERIENCES

A company based in the Algarve, Portugal, dedicated to inclusive underwater diving activities that combine leisure with sustainability, aiming to protect marine ecosystems. The company addresses issues like tourist seasonality and marine pollution, noting that 90% of trash on Portuguese beaches is plastic. The proposed solution includes diving, Virtual Reality activities for inclusion and education, and collecting trash at sea with an incentive bonus for retained waste, which promotes conservation and increases the average length of tourist stays. The business model includes boat trips, diving courses, and a souvenir shop.
