Bombings 'put off UK leisure-seekers, not foreigners'

Leisure group Hilton said today the London bombings had most affected confidence among its UK customers, but failed to deter foreign visitors.

Hilton, which has 16 London hotels at sites including those at Trafalgar Square, Paddington and Park Lane, said it was not surprising that many families questioned whether they wanted to visit the capital after watching UK media coverage of the events.
