Village of Lake Delton Finance Committee Wants More Franchise Hotels

The Village of Lake Delton Finance Committee is acting to increase franchise hotel business modals operating in the area.  This assures franchise software data captures accurate room rental transactions and avoids the amusement water park room tax shift.

The amusement water park room tax shift is a business strategy employed by hotel operators with amusement water parks working to compete in a short season where the density of available rooms is high.  The hotel operator with an amusement water park reduces their room rate which consumers find attractive.  The hotel operator then charges the client to park their car at the amusement water park - capturing the additional revenue while avoiding the room tax.

The hope is that the franchise hotels with Village of Lake Delton support will reduce the number of independent hotel operators - and the calculations of room night stay transactions will be higher.  This would then deliver a higher amount of room tax revenue for the Village of Lake Delton.
