Blue Origin, a company run by amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos, plans to get into the space tourism race. Some of their announcement:

Blue Origin, LLC (Blue Origin) proposes to develop a launch facility to operate its Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV), which is expected to carry paying passengers on suborbital, ballistic trajectories to altitudes in excess of 325,000 feet above sea level. Blue Origin proposes to locate its launch facility on privately-owned property in Culberson County, Texas. Operations at the launch facility would include development testing, pre-flight processing and flight, landing and recovery activities. To accommodate these activities, Blue Origin proposes to construct a variety of buildings and related improvements. Blue Origin's anticipated operations require that it obtain an experimental permit and/or a license from the Federal Aviation Administration.
