Tourism is their job now. They try to do it well, but they give it no more thought once the day is over. They are making more money than ever. Several people have purchased televisions and VCRs, renting videos every week when they take the canoe into the nearest town. Almost everyone has at least a radio now, if not a stereo.
Every house has music playing.
Fortunately, few tourists notice. Most rarely leave the tourist compound to walk in the rainforest, preferring instead to stay by the new pool at the lodge. Though tourism is profitable, most Quichua continue to tend to their crops. The need for rich soil leads many of your neighbors to clear half a hectare for new crops. However, deforestation is held at a minimum due to the ecotourism project.
