Wisconsin Dells Convention Hosting Stage II Spring Flooding

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 building of this 212 thousand square foot convention center is an after thought - add on to the original Kalahari Resort plan.   The existing on resort site amusements are not equipped to serve this large new population of convention attendees.

Spring flooding across the Wisconsin Dells area is an expected occurrence.   The bodies of water can rise to levels that make normal utilization by visiting tourists unsafe.  This means the percentage of Kalahari Resort guests that would take river rides - would not be leaving the onsite amusements during periods of flooding.   The usual water attractions would not be operating when high water makes conditions unsafe.

A digital strategy is being developed to create motion from the resort to help relieve the over population burden upon the resort site amusements.  This will be a submission to Sauk County for a tourism grant.  This is expected to improve the quality of the Resort experience for all the guests.  The Wisconsin Dells area has entered stage II of the convention hosting industry.
