The Colombian government announced today that it will invest 100 billion Colombian pesos (about 300 million yuan) to protect coffee cultural scenic areas that have been listed as a United Nations World Heritage site.

The Colombian Ministry of Culture announced on the same day that the 100 billion Colombian pesos will improve the quality of life of people in coffee areas in the next few years, attract more investment and better promote the development of local tourism. 24000 coffee farms in 47 municipalities and 411 counties in the provinces of Caldas, Kindio, Rizalda and Cauca Valley in Colombia will benefit.

The announcement said that the funds will mainly be used to renovate tertiary roads, deepen rural housing programs, improve employment security, and focus on solving the cultural and environmental sustainable development of the coffee park.

Colombia produced more than 10.9 million bags of coffee in 2013, ranking third in the world, second only to Brazil and Vietnam. Its coffee culture scenic area is one of the preferred destinations for tourists to Colombia.

The Colombian Coffee Culture Scenic area was listed as a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 2011. In addition, Colombia also has the cultural heritage "Ports, fortresses and Monuments of Cartagena", "Santa Cruz de Mombos Historical Centre", "Tiradentro National Archaeological Park" and "St. Agustine Archaeological Park". As well as the natural heritage "Los Cartios National Park" and "Malpero Island Fauna and Flora Reserve".
