It looks like NASA is hoping that there will be revenue. It isn't clear what revenue there will be outside of NASA. There would be a few tourists, but I don't know how big that market will be. Some tourists would be fine with 3 hours in orbit with no docking with a space station.

A lot of private companies already run experiments on the ISS and several companies have products that need to be manufactured in microgravity so I think the revenue streams will be there but the manufacturing lines will need time to set up.
