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. This hefty investment is expected to attract a huge new population of shared customers in to the Wisconsin Dells area.
The Wisconsin Dells area is a small rural community where summer tourism has traditionally been the primary source of revenue. Many of the amusement modals consist of outdoor attractions and water rides. Changes in weather have required the operators of outdoor attractions to deliver their service weather permitting.
Snow is forecast for the Wisconsin Dells area this weekend. Flooding on the Wisconsin River has blocked the work required to place the commercial docks needed for operation. Strong wind and lightening with summer storms keep visitors off the golf courses. Severe heat requires County Government to establish cooling centers for summer visitors.
Many of the local hotel operators contract with the Kalahari Resort to facilitate the ability of their over night guests to use the amusements - all of which are indoors. This is a community adapting to the severe weather driven changes that disrupt local commerce.
Some of the space in the Wisconsin Dells area is scheduled to host outdoor entertainment - which will be difficult with the forecast for snow. The Wisconsin Dells area has entered stage II of the convention hosting industry.
