Wisconsin Dells Convention Hosting Stage II - High Biz Lease Failure Rate

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 is a public - private partnership forged to create a physical location designed to attract a huge new population of shared customers in to the Wisconsin Dells area.

The Wisconsin Dells area lacks the local population to staff these tourism business modals.  The Wisconsin Dells area must import their labor from outside of the Country through the J1VISA Program.  The Wisconsin Dells area must place more than 4500 work experience travelers every year to staff the business modals.

The high cost of importing labor from outside of the Country through the J1VISA Program contributes to the Wisconsin Dells area's much higher than normal business lease failure rate.  It simply costs much more money to operate a business in the Wisconsin Dells area.

This creates a dynamic where the advertised business the tourist has scheduled to visit may no longer be operational.  Tourism online sites like Wisconsin Dells Conventions HUB use non- enriched , timely images of the area business modals to assist the public with determining the operating status of the business location.  This is a value added approach to distributing information about the Wisconsin Dells area.

The critical lack in the Wisconsin Dells area is labor.  The City of Wisconsin Dells and Village of Lake Delton elected officials employ a combined focus to assign the bulk of the areas public resources to the task of importing labor from outside of the Country through the J1VISA Program.  The Wisconsin Dells area has entered stage II of the convention hosting industry.
