Commercial spaceflight & then what?

The flights would be suborbital or low earth orbit, no?

Would this make Mars, the moon, or even high earth orbit more accessible?

It would show that if there's a tourist demand for suborbital/low
Earth orbit flights, there is quite probably such a demand for
destinations farther out, if the price is right.

And if you've gotten as far as regualar LEO tourism, including modest
'space hotels,' you've got a lot of the technology to go farther, in
hand, already...
