Table 20: Benefits of Digitalization for Cultural Heritage in the International Context:

Benefit	Description
Preservation	Digitization helps to preserve cultural heritage by creating a digital record of physical objects that may deteriorate over time. Since digital copies are accessible and reproducible, there is less chance that the original items will be harmed or lost.
Access	Digitization makes cultural heritage accessible to a wider audience, including individuals who may not have the opportunity to visit physical sites. Online access can enable people to learn about and appreciate cultural heritage from different parts of the world.
Research	Digitization enables researchers to access and analyze cultural heritage, providing insights into historical, social, and cultural development. Researchers can compare and contrast different objects or artifacts without having to travel to different locations.
Outreach	Digitization can increase public awareness of cultural heritage and promote cultural tourism. By making cultural heritage more visible and accessible, digitization can encourage people to visit cultural sites and engage with cultural activities.
Education	Digitization provides a unique opportunity to promote cultural awareness and education through online exhibits, educational resources, and virtual tours. Online educational materials can help to engage young people and promote intercultural understanding.
