I have seen people describe themselves as professional tour guides. I don't know how such services are primed to be professional businesses that one can run. Do you think that a tour guide could be a professional business enough?
Is a tour guide a viable business now?

I think being a tour guide can make some money. But nowadays, a lot of people prefer to travel and plan their own itinerary. That said, tour guide still has a market.

Tour guides here are graduates from BS Tourism and with license. They are mostly working in government sectors. They will be pulled out once tourists are coming.

Yes i believe this is a good business to go into, though i feel this is only lucrative in certain areas, especially places with lots of tourists centers.
Many people are spending their holidays at popular tourist destinations and in these places, there is definitely plenty of demand for tourist guides as visitors are willing to pay.
A professional tour guide won't work for my country. People depend on people that they know to give them directions around a place they are visiting for the first time.
