Problem

Aspiring entrepreneurs looking to start experience-based tourism businesses (fishing, snorkeling, kayaking) in island regions face overlapping permit requirements from the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, local governments, and the Coast Guard, spending 2-4 weeks just identifying which permits are needed. Hundreds of cases annually result in fines of $750-$3,750 (1-5 million KRW) for operating without proper permits due to misinformation.

Solution

Users input their tourism business type, region, and scale to automatically retrieve required permits, supporting documents, and processing timelines. The system sends alerts when regulations change and auto-fills application forms.

Target: Aspiring island/maritime experience tourism entrepreneurs (ages 30-50), existing marine leisure businesses (annual revenue $37,500-$225,000)

Revenue Model: Monthly Subscription $22/account (regulation lookup + alerts), auto-filled application Per Transaction $14
