Officials say tourists hoping to visit the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island are often bombarded by deceptive pitches from aggressive vendors
Vendors hawking tickets to the Statue of Liberty would have to let buyers know if their boat will actually land at Liberty Island under a proposed rule that New York City officials hope will help rein in aggressive and illegal pitches.
The rule, proposed by the city’s Department of Consumer and Worker Protection, would also require sellers to disclose on the ticket whether their boat will dock at nearby Ellis Island, home of the Ellis Island National Immigration Museum.
