Understanding Personal Watercraft and Its Design
Personal watercraft are small vessels designed to be operated by an individual who either sits, stands, or kneels on them, rather than inside the boat. These watercraft are typically powered by an outboard motor or an inboard engine connected to a water jet pump, which serves as their main propulsion system. This design allows for an agile and thrilling experience on the water, distinguishing personal watercraft from traditional boats.

Key Factors Propelling Growth in the Personal Watercraft Market
A significant factor driving the expansion of the personal watercraft market is the rising tourism industry worldwide. Tourism encompasses a wide range of economic activities related to travel and leisure, and personal watercraft contribute by providing exciting water-based experiences that attract adventure seekers.
