Yes.
Edit: But it's not gonna be cheap!!
Second edit: However, compare the cost of Space Adventures to the ISS: $20 million!!
The projected ticket price of Virgin Galactic's debut suborbital flights: $200,000. (And they have no shortage of interested patrons signing up.)
I'm pretty certain that orbital flights are part of Virgin Galactic's future plans, though it may be many years away. (Lunar vacation-flights will not occur within my middle-aged lifetime, nor Richard Branson's.) Yeah, initial tickets are sure to cost a few $million...but despite socialists' desires to destroy all private wealth in this world, there is no shortage of millionaires and billionaires that would pony up the dinero. Long-term success, however, would probably depend on the ticket price coming down considerably (as in the tens of thousands of dollars range).

Probably not. Space Adventures is offering trips to the International Space Station now, but Virgin is concentrating on suborbital flights, probably because they 100 times cheaper.

Only if travel like that becomes cheap - very cheap. Not may people will want to shell out millions for a week or two vacation.

It will be too expensive for most people to go.
