【 摘 要 】

In 2011, UNESCO declared the Colombian Coffee Cultural Landscape (CCL) as a world heritage region. In this research article, we propose a methodology to evaluate the geographic location of a new airport (Coffee Airport in Palestina, Caldas), planned as a push of economic development of CCL. We calculate its benefits in terms of population and tourist equipment coverage through accessibility models. Geostatistical methods are used to construct the curves to complement accessibility measures. The results showed that Coffee Airport produces savings in 16% of travel time and an increase in 1% in accessibility to the tourist points of the CCL.
