Twilight tourists help local economy in Forks

It’s been reported that the Twilight franchise has done much to boost the local economy in Forks, Washington. Not that we’re surprised, they have been milking Twilight for all it’s worth the last two years with tours. Even despite the fact that hardly any filming took place in Forks.

Clallam County reports lodging taxes collected in May in Forks were up 27 percent compared to a year ago to more than $13,000. Also, the visitors’ center in the remote town of 3,200 had 70,000 visitors last year. That is quite the increase in visitors!
