It was the best measure towards making Kerala a place for great prominence for shopping and business. The Grand Kerala Shopping Festival, the 45-day long shopping
extravaganza came to a conclusion on January 15, 2008 and the experience was rather
heartening and refreshing to kerala's industry and commerce. Mr. Kodiyeri Balakrishnan, Minister for Tourism, has said that the regime is gratified to discover that Grand Kerala shopping Festival has been an one of a kind shopping experience. Within five years, the festival would be a reputed and recognised world wide.

The lessons from this festival should be made consumption of for the best behavior of the Grand Kerala shopping Festival in coming years, he added.
