Wisconsin Dells Convention Hosting Stage II Room Rates

The Village of Lake Delton has given the Kalahari Resort 10 million publicly collected dollars to construct a convention center capable of serving large regional - national groups.  The Village of Lake Delton is providing financial incentives to place operating franchise hotels in the area.  This is to assure the adequate availability of rooms for an over night stay.

The Wisconsin Dells area is primarily rural which can come in to play when a convention organizer is requesting cultural offerings in the way of museums, entertainment, and restaurants.  Convention organizers typically want to contract with the convention center for a defined number of rooms at a lower rate.

This can be an incentive for the hosting facility to reserve banks of rooms at the lower negotiated rate within the franchise hotels that have agreed to contract with the convention center.  This occurs most often in the peak summer tourist season when the hosting facilities rooms can be rented to visiting guests at a rate higher than the negotiated convention organizer's agreed upon room rate.

This is a typical business relationship concern that commonly occurs in areas known for a dependence upon tourism dollars.  There is a benefit to acknowledging the possibility of this occurring in the Wisconsin Dells area once the Kalahari Resort convention center is operational.  The Wisconsin Dells area is entering stage II of the convention hosting industry.
