Paris Hilton to follow in footsteps of Conrad Hilton


Paris Hilton says she is ready to follow in the footsteps of her family and wants to open a chain of hotels.

The socialite - whose great-grandfather Conrad Hilton is the founder of Hilton Hotels - says she believes she needs a new challenge in her career, which has already seen her become a reality TV star, a singer, have her own fragrances and clothing line and appear in movies.

She is quoted by website FOXNews.com as saying: "I've pretty much done all you can do, but my next project that I'd like to do is get more involved in real estate - just from being in the business and growing up in it my whole life, it's always something I've been interested in.

"And right now that I've done everything I've wanted to do, that would definitely be the next step, to open my own hotels.

EU lifting airport ban on liquids in Hand Luggage.

Since 2006 there has been a ban on carrying liquids in your hand luggage after police in Britain discovered a terrorist plot to destroy transatlantic flights using explosives hidden in soft drink cans.



Many travellers have had their expensive perfumes, drinks and suncreams condfiscated at airports as a result of this causing much stress and frustration at the loss of their belongings.


The Eu Commission said "By 29 April 2013 at the latest, all liquids will be allowed in cabin baggage and will be screened,"

From early 2011, duty free drinks and perfumes purchased at third country airports or on board third country airlines and carried in tamper-proof bags will be allowed and will be screened.


This is great news for both the traveller and the duty free shops as we will be allowed to return to what was an enjoyable part of a journey - grabbing all the bargains duty free has to offer.
