Facility Location Problem is a major issue in logistics system of coastal tourist attraction. This paper focuses on the impact of the location of logistics center on the vehicle routing scheme and establishes a location model which aims at minimizing the total transportation costs. Meanwhile, road steepness and congestion are added as the weight values and time window constraints are included. In this paper, a meta-heuristic algorithm GWO is been used for solving the location problem based on the proposed mathematical model.
