Right now, commercial orbital flights are so expensive that only the superrich can afford them (still, with the historical slow pace of development, it's impressive that there are commercial orbital flights). If they could get things down to around the $100K level though, with perhaps a few days stay in something like a Bigelow space hotel, I think there would be a lot of people who would pony up the money for once-in-a-lifetime experiences. That wouldn't get them a lot of repeat business - for that, they would have to rely on the countries that want to get into manned space flight, but do it cheaply.
