We Were In Wisconsin Dells And Saddened To See What Has Happened
A common message received by staff of Wisconsin Dells Conventions HUB is " we were in Wisconsin Dells and saddened to see what has happened". Visitors returning to Wisconsin Dells after being gone for quite some time can be traumatized by the change. Consider the following changes that contribute to over whelming visitors who return to Wisconsin Dells after quite some time away.
Landscape is more commercial than natural. Business modals prefer to purchase undeveloped land surrounding the community for development - rather than available property within the existing commercial district.
Local population is now made up of individuals from around the globe. More than 4500 work experience travelers come from outside of the Country to live in Wisconsin Dells and support tourism efforts.
Large resorts offer overnight space along the shoreline of Lake Delton requiring local limits that inhibit utilization.
Family hotel business modals are being shut down through local regulatory changes and a top down financial support of franchise hotel operators.
The Wisconsin Dells area has a much higher than normal business lease failure rate due to the high cost of having to import our labor from outside of the Country. Operating business modals close permanently without a moments notice.
The number of work experience travelers who come from outside of the Country to live in new housing built with local public dollars more than doubles the posted population requiring more law enforcement officers.
Collected money through the premier resort tax must be redistributed to existing operators to keep them in business. Upgrades to commercial property in the area are being financed by public money - traditional lending institutions deliver a very limited service within Wisconsin Dells.
The local population is further impoverished through the additional premier resort tax local business providers must charge consumers.
Commercial landlords struggle with restrictive local regulations that cause a barrier with the ongoing need to re-purpose vacant locations in an effort to place a new renter.
The visiting public is powerless to influence any of these changes because they are driven by local elected officials . Some will choose to stop coming.
This is the Wisconsin Dells area today. Some are suggesting the ongoing need to collect additional tax dollars to distribute back to operating business modals is an indication the local economy lacks the value needed to deliver evidence of any real growth.

Wisconsin Dells Understanding The Promotion Causes Visitation Formulary
The Wisconsin Dells area is placing a stronger focus on how efforts of promotion drive visitation. Business operators can evaluate the visitation to their location in relation to the traditional organization that collects membership dues and receives some premier resort tax money to collectively pool resources and promote the Wisconsin Dells community.
The Wisconsin Dells area has a much higher than normal business lease failure rate due to the high cost of importing labor from outside of the Country. This means the Wisconsin Dells area has fewer individual business operators performing financial transactions that contribute a portion to the premier resort tax fund. Simply the traditional promotional organization is receiving less and less as their percent of the premier resort tax is shrinking - this is a funding loss.
The Village of Lake Delton is providing financial incentives ( up to 10k per room) for hotel franchise operators to locate in the Wisconsin Dells area. Hotel franchise modals require a percent of the gross be contributed back to the corporate office for royalties and a percent of the gross goes back as an advertising mandate to promote the brand on the national level. This is shifting local dollars that were once voluntarily contributed to the traditional promotional organization in to corporate franchise budgets to advertise their brand- this is a funding loss.
The Wisconsin Dells will benefit from a promotional approach that delivers digital content across varied networks. This will engage a demographic with a higher per household level of disposable income. Consistent delivery of data packets created in a timely fashion with location specific images enhances credibility which improves visitation. This is innovation designed to reduce cost while producing a more beneficial outcome. The Wisconsin Dells area has entered stage II of the convention hosting industry.

Wisconsin Dells Critical Lack Tilts Community Promotional Efforts
The critical lack in the Wisconsin Dells area is labor. The Wisconsin Dells area must import their labor from outside of the Country through the Federal J1VISA Programming. The high cost of importing labor from outside of the Country creates a much higher than normal business lease failure rate across the Wisconsin Dells area.
The higher than normal business lease failure rate means fewer business locations performing the financial transactions that contribute a portion to the Premier Resort Tax fund. A lower collection of money for the Premier Resort Tax fund - means a smaller percentage of the total fund will be assigned to the local organization that pools resources to promote the whole Wisconsin Dells area.
The traditional Wisconsin Dells community wide promotional organization is receiving less money from their portion of the Premier Resort Tax fund. This is important because the traditional promotional organization has become more dependent upon the Premier Resort Tax fund with the Village of Lake Delton funding hotel conversions to franchise modals.
Franchise hotel operators must contribute a percentage of their gross to the corporate office as royalties and an advertising mandate. The money that local hotel operators once sent to the traditional community wide promotional organization now goes over to the franchise chain budget - a loss for pooled local advertising efforts.
Wisconsin Dells business operators are feeling this change as a decreased visitation to their location. Promotional efforts drive visitation. Wisconsin Dells Conventions HUB staff are busy developing more innovative, cost effective, services local business modals can use to populate their location. This will become essential with the changes across the Wisconsin Dells area that are making past applications much less effective.

Wisconsin Dells What Does Shifting Local Advertising Dollars Mean?
The Wisconsin Dells area is actively supporting a top down shift of local advertising dollars. Traditionally the Wisconsin Dells area business operators voluntarily contributed a percent of their net profit to a local promotional organization as membership dues.
The Village of Lake Delton finance committee is delivering 10 thousand dollars per room to local hotel operators who upgrade their lodging to a franchise modal. Franchise modals require the local hotel operator to contribute a percent of their gross profit for royalties as well as an additional percent for an advertising mandate. The advertising mandate is money sent to the corporate chain to nationally advertise the brand.
Local hotel operators who transition to a franchise now have an economic modal that shifts the money once voluntarily contributed to the Wisconsin Dells area promotional organization out and in to the corporate franchise budget. This is de-funding the local promotional organization which pools resources and lessens the value of their advertising approaches.
This top down de-funding of the local promotional organization can be felt already by Wisconsin Dells area business operators in the form of a decrease in visitation to their location. Wisconsin Dells Conventions HUB staff are busy developing cost effective options area business operators can employ to populate their location.
The Wisconsin Dells Conventions HUB staff are developing the promotional services that facilitate the ability of Wisconsin Dells business operators to move from sitting on the side lines to actively participating in the local changes in ways that deliver a profit for their hard work. The Wisconsin Dells area has entered stage II of the convention hosting industry.

What Could Possibly Be New In Wisconsin Dells?
What is new in Wisconsin Dells begins with the huge convention center at the Kalahari Resort getting set to open. The Village of Lake Delton contributed 10 million publicly collected dollars to construct this huge new space. The convention center is expected to attract large crowds like the Wisconsin Dells area used to serve with the annual World Wide Church of God conventions in the 1970's.
This includes the Village of Lake Delton providing financial incentives for franchise hotel operators to locate in the Wisconsin Dells area. The new Staybridge is open, the Wintergreen has upgraded to Clarion, and the La Quinta Del Sol franchise hotel is being constructed along the Wisconsin Dells parkway. These hotel modals will assure the availability of rooms for over night stays with the huge crowds occupying the new convention center at the Kalahari Resort.
To staff the new convention center and the many franchise hotels the Village of Lake Delton is providing financial incentives to property owners who construct new housing for the J1VISA Program workers who come from outside of the Country to live in Wisconsin Dells and assist with tourism efforts. The Wilderness Resort buildings are complete and occupied. The Hiawatha buildings are complete and occupied. The Lake Avenue buildings that will be home to 600 work experience travelers who come from outside of the Country through the J1VISA Programming are being constructed. The Wisconsin Dells area is now home to more than 4500 work experience travelers who come from outside of the country to help with local tourism efforts.
To properly serve the huge new crowds gathering at the Kalahari Resort Convention Center and the additional work experience travelers coming from outside of the Country to live in the Wisconsin Dells area the Village of Lake Delton is constructing a large new Police Station. This new Police Station is being built on Alcan and Miller which will be closer to the new convention center. The Village of Lake Delton has approved funding to replace Alcan drive which will prove beneficial as the Village Attorney, Clerk, and Engineer are working to have additional nearby lots vacated and combine the entire geographical area in to one parcel of land. With the large new population occupying the convention center and the influx of more J1VISA Program work experience travelers the need for more public services like law enforcement is essential.
This is what is new in the Wisconsin Dells area. These changes are being called stage II of the convention hosting industry.
