Important Notice (Updated October 2025)

This guide reflects the statistical reporting requirements for accommodation providers in Italy as of October 2025. Requirements and regional portal procedures may change, so check with your local municipality or tourism office if you are unsure about a specific step.

What is Statistical Reporting?

In Italy, all accommodation providers are legally required to submit monthly statistical reports to the authorities. These reports help track tourism trends at national and local levels, so governments and local administrations can plan tourism more effectively. You must submit a report even if your property was closed or had no guests during the month.

For the official rules, see the ISTAT Reporting Guidelines.

What Information is Required?

Each month, hosts must report the following details:

• Property name
• Property type (for example, hotel, B&B, or holiday home)
• Days open or closed
  • A property is considered open if it was available for at least one day in the month.
  • A property is considered closed only if it remained closed for the entire month.
• Total available rooms for that month
• Total available beds for that month
• Total number of guests checked in during that month
• Guest nationalities
  • If guests are Italian, the province where they reside must also be reported.
• Total number of occupied nights

Note on manual submissions: If you submit your report manually instead of using Holidu's automatic connection, some regional portals, such as ROSS1000, may ask for extra information, such as your guests' ID document numbers. This is only required for manual submissions. If you use Holidu's automatic reporting, this information is not required and is not sent.

How Do Hosts Get Credentials?

Each province in Italy has its own regional portal where hosts must register to obtain login credentials. The registration process may vary depending on the local authority, but generally you will need to:

1. Identify the correct regional portal based on your property's location.
2. Register as an accommodation provider on the portal.
3. Receive login credentials (username and password).
4. Use these credentials to submit monthly statistical reports.

If you are unsure where to register, check with your local municipality or tourism office for guidance.

How to Submit the Report?

Each province in Italy has its own regional portal where accommodation providers must submit their data. To make this easier, Holidu offers an automatic statistical reporting feature as part of its regulatory support for the Italian market. Once your account is connected, the required data is submitted for you, so you spend less time on manual submissions.

How to Enable Automatic Reporting

Connect your stats account in Holidu, and the integration takes care of the recurring monthly submissions.

Automatic Reporting for Empty Periods

The Holidu ISTAT integration also reports to ISTAT when there are no guests during a given month. This helps you stay compliant with reporting requirements even when your property is unoccupied.

Choosing Between Alloggiati Web and Motourist

If You Have Private or Direct Bookings

If your property has private or direct bookings that are not registered through Holidu, keep the following limitations in mind when using the automatic ISTAT connection to Motourist:

• Holidu can only report guest data for bookings registered in the Holidu system. Private or direct bookings are never sent automatically.
• Motourist does not allow mixing automatic and manual submissions. Once your ISTAT connection is active via Holidu, you cannot separately submit your direct bookings' data manually.

Recommendation: If you have private or direct bookings, do not activate the automatic ISTAT connection to Motourist. Instead, submit your ISTAT statistics manually and cover all of your bookings. Your Alloggiati Web connection, which is used for guest check-in registration, is not affected by this and can remain automated.

How to Connect Your Property to Statistics Reporting

1. Go to the "Statistics Connection" section in your Holidu account.
2. Set up the integration with your stats account to automate guest reporting.
3. Click Validate and then Save changes.
