Forks, in Washington US, has seen a remarkable 1000% increase in tourism due to the vampire film Twilight. Forks is the setting of the film, which is based on a series of books by US author Stephanie Meyer.  There were more visitors in June and July than the whole of 2008. Fans can visit the high school, hospital and police station all featured in the film. Local businesses have responded to the hype with a Twilight themed restaurant and shops selling ‘Bella Burgers’.
