The Ekranoplan, or so-called Caspian Sea Monster, was truly massive, and could no doubt fit several of these puny tourist versions in its hold. For these kind of endeavours you'd really want to go big or home - there's a limited enough tourist market if all you're planning to transport is some sightseers without any luggage!
Something that could take a few shipping containers, automobiles, passengers etc. however, you'd think there would be a greater demand for something like that.
