I don't think space tourists should be allowed to spacewalk anyway.
On a tourist ship, the opening of the external hatch should ONLY be
done as an emergency measure or else when docking with an orbital hotel
or a Lunar cycler.
It's not DisneyLand, it's outer space.
If space-walking is allowed, the suit will have to be economical
and simple and cleaned and re-used after each tourist.

I don't think that's a given. Bigelow is projecting a rate of $1M/night
in his orbital hotel; at those prices, I can reasonably expect to take
home not just the towels, but the spacesuit too.

Best,
