That's a common phenomenon, but it passes. New Orleans was besieged by goths after Anne Rice's vampire books. London had Harry Potter fans. Then one day it fades as any other fad does and the good times recede for all the local restaurants, hotels, and other businesses that live and die on the tourist trade. It only tends to last if the setting for those stories actively work to keep it alive, like Prince Edward Island does Anne of Green Gables.
