It’s Diana Gabaldon’s fault.

Have never read or watched Outlander but when researching our trip found that yes, it is the reason tourism is up there.

Book Nine later this year - Go Tell The Bees That I Am Gone.

Gabaldon is ALSO responsible for a boom in North Carolina tourism.

I read a report on Twitter from a local in NC to Diana:

"Raleigh, NC has a lot of #outlander fans. Library has 90 copies of The Fiery Cross & they are all checked out w/ another 123 people on the wait list"

LOLOLOL!!! That'll blow your hair back. :-)
