If Musk’s Starship will work, it will lower price of Moon tourism. If a launch will cost 1.5 mln USD and there will be 100 people on board, it means 15k a person for a ticket.
There are more than 1 million households in US which have 10 mln usd capitalisation, and they could afford such travel without damaging their wealth. No all will go, but may be a 10 thousand a year will. This gives 1 billion a year for tickets and they will spend at least the same amount on the Moon. So it is 2 billion dollar a year tourist economy. Not much.

You need more then one launch to get to the moon with Starship as it’s designed. It needs refulling in between.
Even when it costs 15k to low-earth orbit you might pay 100k to the moon.
