Wisconsin Dells Convention Hosting Stage II - High Lease Failure Rates

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 Wisconsin Dells area lacks the population to staff these large tourism business modals.  The Wisconsin Dells area at a high cost - must import their labor from outside of the Country through the J1VISA Program.

The Wisconsin Dells area pays a higher than normal expense with importing staff from outside of the Country.  The individuals come in to the Wisconsin Dells area from outside of the Country through the J1VISA Program.  This is work experience travel with a 90 day work VISA and 30 days for travel.

The Village of Lake Delton has distributed 1.5 million publicly collected dollars for the building of housing for this temporary work staff on Lake Avenue.  The high cost of importing needed labor from outside of the country contributes to the higher than normal lease failure rate in the Wisconsin Dells area.

The Wisconsin Dells area is completely dependent upon hosting adequate numbers of work experience travelers to economically function.  This adds to the unexpected expense of operating a business in the Wisconsin Dells area.  The high cost of importing needed labor from outside of the Country is a contributing reason the Wisconsin Dells area struggles with a higher than normal lease failure rate.

With a higher than normal lease failure rate- Wisconsin Dells travelers are discovering the business they have scheduled to visit is no longer operating.  The Wisconsin Dells Conventions HUB is developing online sites that communicate this important information to the travelers-  this will allow time to re-schedule to visit a business modal that is operating.  The Wisconsin Dells area has entered stage II of the convention hosting industry.
