Wisconsin Dells Convention Hosting Stage II - J1VISA and Park and Rec

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 City of Wisconsin Dells and the 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.

Expect the local Park and Rec Department to become more and more involved in scheduled events that deliver a desirable structure to the J1VISA work experience travelers stay in the Wisconsin Dells area.  This is necessary to bolster the Wisconsin Dells area's ability to compete for the available work experience travelers seeking a J1VISA placement.

The Wisconsin Dells area requires more than 4500 work experience travelers from outside of the Country through the J1VISA Program every year.  The local Park and Rec staff and geographical locations will be utilized as a way to add value to the J1VISA work experience travelers stay in Wisconsin Dells.

The Park and Rec activities will give the J1VISA work experience travelers a greater participatory role in the Wisconsin Dells community.   This integrating strategy strengthens the J1VISA work experience travelers sense of belonging which is shared with friends upon return home.  The Wisconsin Dells area has entered stage II of the convention hosting industry.
