I do agree that the X-Prize competition is very interesting, but for its industry value, not for tourism. I think main reason the tourist-y theme was chosen (have to launch at least three people)

Errrr..... Three people doesn't not seem that lucrative enough for space tourism.

Once there was this little guy named Lindberg who nobody thought had a chance at beating his well funded competition ... These days hardly anybody remembers there were competitors, let alone who they were

Wasn't there an airplane competition that the X-Prize is based on?? I forgot the whole story behind it
