IITF ends in delhi

IITF Ended in Delhi yesterday. I did not visit the IITF this year also even though I have very fond memories of it. When I was a kid, I used to visit it every year and go through the stalls of all states and some international ones as well. In those times, the crowd was decent at least on the working days and infact you could find few of the state stalls almost deserted.

The reasons for not going in the past few yr have been-

1. Lack of parking place around pragati Maidan- This was tackled by providing park and ride facility this year.( good effort)
2. Too much of crowd.

I believe the IITF duration should be increased so that the crowds ease out. Another way to partition the crowds is to have a higher ticket on some days so that only people who are serious about shopping go there. The current classification is only the business Hours and the normal hours and the ticket rates have a spiraling difference. Something in the middle needs to be thought out. When IITF turns out to become a picnic spot then it looses its focus and strength.

I think IITF is trying to innovate itself and grow; it is also getting a larger noticeability in the APAC region.
