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 is completely dependent upon the public J1VISA Programming that brings workers from outside of the Country to support the local tourism efforts.
In 2017 the Wisconsin Dells Events Newspaper reported that more than 4500 work experience travelers come in to the area every year. The community expects the number of work experience travelers to drastically increase when the new convention center at the Kalahari Resort becomes operational in the 4th quarter of 2019.
The new convention center is a public- private partnership to create a space designed to attract a huge new population of shared customers in to the Wisconsin Dells area. The Village of Lake Delton is providing financial incentives for property owners who build housing for temporary staff on their land. The Noah's Ark property owner has received 1.5 million dollars from the Village of Lake Delton to construct 2 buildings for housing and a convenience store on their land.
Wisconsin Dells community planners track the number of J1VISA work experience travelers coming to help with tourism as a calculation of the areas economic well being. Falling numbers of J1VISA work experience travelers means a reduction in financial transactions. This is correlated with a drop in annual resort tax contributions.
This is important as the Wisconsin Dells area has a higher than normal business lease failure rate due to the high expense of importing labor from outside of the Country. The Wisconsin Dells area is now a global community. The J1VISA work experience travelers influence the customs and cultures of Wisconsin Dells through their day to day participation in the areas efforts to support tourism. Wisconsin Dells has entered stage II of the convention hosting industry.
