The Village of Lake Delton has given the Kalahari Resort 10 million publicly collected dollars to build a convention center ( 212 thousand square feet) capable of serving large regional- national groups. The community is hoping the convention center can be operational in the last quarter of 2019. Convention organizers will benefit from a baseline room rate for large groups prior to the completion of the new convention center.
The Wisconsin Dells area is a small rural community with a summer tourist season as the primary industry. This indicates peak visitation occurs during June, July and August the summer months. Convention organizers can expect higher room rates during the summer months at Wisconsin Dells locations as the availability of rooms decreases - less supply more demand.
A large group event is scheduled for the Kalahari Resort for June 7th and 8th 2019. This is a Friday and a Saturday. The group contracting for the space is the 60th Annual Wisconsin Dells Alumni Reunion Event. The convention attendees can rent from the reserved block of rooms for 129.00 dollars per night. This is a 2019 summer group room rate for over night weekend stay at the Kalahari Resort in the Wisconsin Dells area.
The 129.00 dollar room rate is occurring pre-construction - completion of the large convention center. This is a baseline room rate that can then be compared to the room rates being listed in contract documents after the opening and continued operation of the new large Kalahari Resort convention center.
Keep in mind the Village of Lake Delton is delivering financial incentives for operating franchise hotels that locate in the Wisconsin Dells area. The Village of Lake Delton is also providing financial incentives for property owners to construct temporary employee housing. This is a top down effort that is being called stage II of the convention hosting industry in the Wisconsin Dells area.
