Occupy Wall Street is NYC’s newest tourist attraction

Wall Street protesters’ camp becoming a tourist attraction.

Visiting New York City, one might think of visiting the Empire State Building or attending a show on Broadway, however the latest tourist attraction in the Big Apple is the Occupy Wall Street protest, reports the Daily Mail.

Occupy Wall Street is a protest against corporate influence on government and the distribution of wealth. Activists have been camped out in Manhattan for over a month now, with many other countries following with similar protests.

A growing number of tourists are taking photographs of the protesters at Zuccotti Park in Manhattan, with the campground of 200 taking on a carnival-like atmosphere.

Tourists can even purchase souvenirs of the anti-capitalist protest such as T-shirts and buttons with the ‘Occupy’ slogan and make donations to the cause.
