Reopen the Statue of Liberty to tourism

Travel by ferry from Manhattan to the Statue of Liberty resumed on Sunday morning to transport eager tourists lined up already. The state of New York last week agreed to finance on their own in the opening of the daily cost of 61 000 $ 600. In New York there are 33 tourist places under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service and are closed from October 1. The sites include the Statue of Liberty and nearby Ellis Island, which remains closed for restoration due to storm damages caused Sandy in 2012. Some four million people visited the Lady of Liberty in 2011 and generated an economic activity of $ 174 million, said the National Park Service.
