I came across this article in the Virginian Pilot online.  Despite early season worries, wind driven smoke from wild fires, and gas near $4, 2008 ended up much stronger than expected for many in the Outer Banks.  Many Outer Banks home owners report strong years for 2007.  in 2008 the Outer Banks experienced an increase in gross occupancy numbers.  The increase was 2.92% greater than 2007.  Total occupancy receipts totaled almost $350 million.  Several sectors of tourism in the Outer Banks experienced decline.  Campgrounds and restaurants were especially hard hit.  Hatteras was affected by beach driving closures.
