Abstract

Ethno-touristic sites must be conserved to preserve the cultural heritage and historical identity of the people. Documenting these sites is easier with enhanced digital technology, which provides faster and new ways of documenting, conserving, and managing tourism. Digital technology such as 3D scanning, virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and photogrammetry can potentially preserve Ethno-touristic sites and promote them. By analyzing the application of these technologies, the paper highlights their potential to enhance cultural narration, improve accessibility, and ensure the sustainability of intangible and tangible heritage. The research also discusses ethical considerations and methodological approaches to digitizing ethnographic resources, with emphasis on the need for sustainable and community-based digital archiving practice. The study suggests that the integration of digital technology with Ethno-tourism can potentially enhance the visitor experience and conservation of heritage amidst a constantly evolving technological landscape.
