Important Notice (Updated October 2025)

This guide was updated in October 2025 to reflect the current statistical reporting requirements for accommodation providers in Italy. Reporting rules and regional portal procedures can change, so always check your local authority's latest instructions before you submit.

What is Statistical Reporting in Italy?

Statistical reporting is a legal requirement for all accommodation providers in Italy. Every month, you must submit a report to the authorities with details about your property and its guests. These reports help track tourism trends at national and local levels, so governments and local administrations can plan tourism more effectively. You must submit the 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 for Statistical Reporting?

Each month, hosts must report the following details about their property:

• 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 the month
• Total available beds for the month
• Total number of guests checked in during the month
• Guest nationalities
  • For Italian guests, the province where they reside must also be reported.
• Total number of occupied nights

Do Manual Submissions Require Extra Guest Information?

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

How Do Hosts Get Credentials for Statistical Reporting?

Each province in Italy has its own regional portal, and hosts must register there to obtain login credentials. The registration process can vary depending on the local authority, but in general 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 your login credentials (username and password).
4. Use these credentials to submit your monthly statistical reports.

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

How Do You Submit the Statistical 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 sent for you, so you spend less time on manual submissions.

How Do You Enable Automatic Reporting?

Connect your stats account in Holidu. After that, the integration handles the recurring monthly submissions for you.

How Does Automatic Reporting Work 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 the reporting requirements even when your property is unoccupied.

Which Should You Choose: Alloggiati Web or Motourist?

Your choice depends on how your bookings are made.

What 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 through Holidu, you cannot separately submit your direct bookings manually.

Recommendation: If you have private or direct bookings, do not activate the automatic ISTAT connection to Motourist. Instead, submit your ISTAT statistics manually so that all of your bookings are covered.

Your Alloggiati Web connection, which is used for guest check-in registration, is not affected by this and can remain automated.

How Do You Connect Your Property to Statistical Reporting?

To connect your property, follow these steps:

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 Save changes.

Once connected, Holidu takes care of the recurring submissions, and you can focus on running your property.
