IMHO if reverse time travel were possible, we'd be up to our ears in tourists from the future already, so it's not.
However maybe forward time travel (faster than usual I mean) could be possible. But... how would it make any money? As soon as you've delivered the service, the deadbeat customer may not be back in town to pay his bill for decades or centuries! And 30-day jumps just seems silly.

Are you assuming they would wear a sign saying "TIME TRAVELER FROM THE FUTURE HERE" or something? Or walk up to random people and say "Excuse me, I'm from 2077, and I just got here, and could you tell me how to get to the Smithsonian"? I imagine if time travelers from the future were here, they'd be careful to be very discrete to avoid outing themselves. Or to avoid causing a paradox by accidentally changing something.
