Wisconsin Dells Area Entering 2nd Stage of Convention Hosting Industry

The Wisconsin Dells area is entering the second stage of the convention hosting industry.   This has been a transformation from river rides to water slides and on to hosting large regional - national group size conventions.

The Village of Lake Delton has granted the Kalahari Resort a generous 10 million dollar gift to build a huge convention center.  The Village of Lake Delton finance committee has been working to place operating franchise hotels in the area to serve the new population of convention visitors.

This marks change in the focus of the Wisconsin Dells area toward the tasks of hosting large regional - national conventions.   The area can expect:

- need for technological systems to link broader circles of shared priorities

- more visitors means greater dependence upon non-local temporary staffing

- need for expanded public services

- ancillary packages of service will spring up

The Wisconsin Dells Area is experiencing change being driven from the top down.  This will shift as the commercial delivery alters their systems to participate in the revenue producing transactions.  Meaning as the economy expands off the point of sale the participants will grow in number.
