Traveling and shopping are interlinked. Whether you are on a short trip or a long trip, shopping comes along with your daily itinerary. In India, the moment you step outside to start shopping, you will easily find several options from street vendors to Multi-storied Businesses and Shopping malls. They offer many experiences from cheap articles to luxurious boutiques. The Bazars that you find across the country and busy shopping malls tell us about the diverse markets. Tourists across the country can purchase handmade jewelry, textile articles, spices, and several other merchandise depending on your tastes.
In Kerala, tourists mainly look for spices as the state is rich in spices. Along with spices, Indian handicrafts are also much-bought items. Kerala Sarees and Mundu act as a token of identification of Keralites across the globe.
As the number of shopping malls is on the rise, Kerala has several large shopping malls like the LuLu Mall, which has multiple malls across the state. All luxury brands have their stores open in all the major cities. They are icons of luxury and a foreign traveler will always find their wish items in the brand stores located in the malls. This also acts as an advantage in boosting the tourism industry. Apart from shopping, one can take part in several other recreational activities in Kerala to spend time. Medical tourism is another field that is still developing.
So, India’s shopping and tourism sectors are interrelated and dependent on each other. The colorful vivid bazaars add not only beauty but offer many purchasing options for a pleasant traveller.
