Is the tourism market dead/alive??

Hi All,

Was having a conversation over the dinner table with a friend of mine who's currently flying for the airline. I told him about my situation, which is being a CPL holder with low-hours + being away from the aviation industry for the past 4.5 years, he told me the easiest way to get myself back into it is to go bash around in the bush to build up hours, or become an instructor if i wanna stay in town.

However, a third option that came out under my suggestion would be starting a tourist joy flight business around town, that way you get to stay close to home and get to build up some hours at the same time. It sure sounds like a good idea, but just wanna know how realistic this idea is in regards to 1)Aircraft hire; 2)CASA regulation 3)Whether or not there's a market for it.

shoot me some ideas ladies & gents, anything would be greatly appreciated
