Saudi Arabia-the International Red Sea Company intends to use SubSLAM technology to create detailed and high-resolution three-dimensional digital copies of coral reefs and vital habitats in Lake Al-Wajh in cooperation with vaarst, a leading company in the field of marine robotics technologies.

This innovative technology is characterized as the most accurate technology used for direct three-dimensional underwater observation, currently available in the field.

Intelligent and direct photogrammetry and data collection technology is changing the approach to mapping underwater ecosystems, enhancing conservation efforts.

This technology is the first of its kind in Saudi Arabia, and this indicates the permanent commitment of "Red Sea International" to the concept of sustainable and renewable tourism.

The capabilities of the technology make it possible to accurately identify coral reefs and underwater objects through the use of innovative and advanced "4K" sensors, as this technology guides remote-controlled vehicles in detailed searches of marine habitats, and compare current images with previous images to monitor changes and enhance biodiversity.

This technology enables the scientists of "International Red Sea", in cooperation with King Abdulaziz University in Jeddah, to identify, identify and classify marine species and habitats quickly without the need for tedious tasks in reviewing videos for many hours, as well as its contribution to reducing the incidence of human errors and reducing the incidence, which usually results from fatigue and stress.

This proactive approach is an important step in identifying, responding to and resolving any potential adverse events, such as coral bleaching and the emergence of invasive species, ensuring that guests enjoy the beauty and diversity of the charming marine environment of the Red Sea.

At the same time, Red Sea International unveiled the new brand of its "Marine Life Center" in Amala, which it named"coralium", and also announced the results of the first phase of its pilot project for coral nurseries, which represents an essential step to enhance efforts to preserve and develop the marine environment.

The "Red Sea" destination has begun to receive the pioneers of its visitors, bookings have begun at two of its hotels, and the "Red Sea International Airport" has received a regular flight schedule since September 2023.

When completed by 2030, the Red Sea destination will consist of 50 resorts, offering a total of up to 8,000 hotel rooms, in addition to more than 1,000 residential units spread over 22 islands and 6 inland locations, in addition to luxury marinas, golf courses, restaurants and cafes, and entertainment and recreation facilities.
