To this end, an online questionnaire with photographs of landscape units in Cayo Santa María (Province of Villa Clara, Cuba) was devised. The two-fold objective focused on assessing the valuation of the landscape's visual quality related to the presence and intensity of tourism-related constructions, as well as assessing the potential bias linked to the academic profile in said assessment. The results indicate that a majority of those interviewed preferred landscapes without constructions. Construction intensity was also an important variable, in that landscape preferences declined as construction intensity increased. At a secondary level, the academic background also had a significant influence on landscape preferences. Most Natural Science students preferred landscapes that were free of constructions, while those studying Health Sciences preferred the ones containing constructions. In conclusion, it is recommended that landscape preference studies be taken into account to optimize tourism planning in areas of enormous ecosystem and landscape value. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 5.4 2022 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES 73 / 275 = 0.265 2022 Q2 T1 1.117 2022 Management, Monitoring, Policy and Law 2022 Q1 Geography, Planning and Development 2022 Q1 7.8 2022 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Ibarra-Benlloch, Paloma Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-3901-164X Rodrigues, Marcos Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-0477-0796 da Silva, Edson Vicente 3006 430 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
