Think about it. If you are traveling to Ecuador, South America to take your family on a rafting trip in the Amazon, are you going to ride the raging rapids and take instructions from Juan-Carlos who can say "Waterfall ahead! Paddle backwards!"only in Spanish? Or are you going to give your hard-earned money to the guide who can clearly give that warning in English, as well as four other languages?
The tourism business thrives on vacationers, which in this economy are becoming more few and far between. Why not take all means necessary to make sure your company makes the biggest profit it can? Being able to put a sign outside of your tour office that says " We Have English Guides" can mean, simply put, more money in your pocket. Sorry, Juan-Carlos.
