The Cofan community that relocated five hours from the Texaco oil disaster developed an ecotourism economy in the 1990s that generated $500 per person per year for every member of their community (which is 25% of the average per capita income throughout the country in 2005). After experimenting with several private business profit sharing approaches, they established a community company in 1992 with ten Cofan associates who worked on the enterprise and in return earned a full partner percentage of the profits. All community members derived a smaller portion of the profits (the $500 per person figure) without becoming full time associates – by selling handicrafts in a cooperative store which was visited twice a week by a local tour company, and providing guided walks and visits to a traditional arts museum across the river from their village
