What exactly would be the appeal of this, besides pure novelty?
Commercial space travel? Of course. You're weightless, you get to see the Earth from an entirely new, potentially life-changing perspective.
Commercial ocean-trench travel? It's too dark to see anything but what's right in front of you. I don't understand the appeal beyond bragging that you were rich enough to afford it.

This adds one more that was previously unachievable, so I'm sure there will be customers. You need money and good physical condition (strength & stamina) for the others, mostly just money for this one--though a sense of adventure and risk help too.
