The other problem you would have is the estimated hours at 1200 per annum which is high!
What would you do on down times, maintenance schedules etc? You would probably need two aircraft and a rotation of pilots to cover such an operation as well as the aircraft being a twin not a single!
You would be better talking to a local AOC which is already up and running and seeing if you can do something joint with them.

I would also question how you have come up with the 100 hrs per month?
If its a tourist thing then you may achieve good usage in the tourist season but little or nothing at other times of year!
Unless of course its a summer destination which turns into winter skiing!
You also need to look at the departure and destination airports? Are they equipt to get you in with all kinds of weather?
A semi field in the middle of no where will not do!
