Help On Way For Struggling Wisconsin Dells Resorts

Visitation to the large resort style of service delivery in the Wisconsin Dells area has dropped annually.  This is most recognized with the off season which runs from September 15th to April 15th.  Due to the extremely low number of visitors staying over night in the large resorts more than 75 percent of the store fronts in the Down Town Wisconsin Dells commercial district close.

To compensate for the increasing drop in visitors to the Wisconsin Dells area resorts the Village of Lake Delton is creating the High End Attraction Incentive Program.  This can be described as a local level political technique that diverts publicly collected money from being used on the needs of the residents - and gives it over to the private business operators in the Wisconsin Dells area resorts.

The Village of Lake Delton is hoping the resort operators use this money diverted from the needs of the residents to add and improve their attractions and amusements to attract more annual visitors.  At the local level the politically elected officials have the perception that more and newer amusements and attractions will bring more tourists into the Wisconsin Dells area.

The Village of Lake Delton is firming up the process for the distribution of publicly collected money over to private business operators by amending Section 1. Amendments to Chapter 16 - Section 16.10 of the Village Municipal Code - adding subsection D - the high end attraction incentive program.  Wisconsin Dells area private business resort operators are being encouraged to apply for this publicly collected money to add and improve the amusements and attractions upon their property.
