In 2003 Valparaiso became part of UNESCO, a world heritage site, mainly because of a famous modern building called Çubo de Vidrio. Since then several other art galleries were established and Pablo Neruda’s museum hosted visitors. These events lead to more and more hostels being built to cater for tourists. The immigrants at first were reticent to welcome tourists, but when UNESCO threatened to invest all their money in their rival port San Antonio, Valparaiso soon welcomed tourists because it desperately needed the money.
