Important Notice (Updated October 2025)

This guide reflects the Italian statistical reporting requirements as updated in October 2025. Reporting rules and regional portal procedures can change, so check your local municipality or tourism office if you are unsure about a requirement that applies to your property.

What is Statistical Reporting in Italy?

Statistical reporting is a monthly legal obligation for all accommodation providers in Italy. You must submit a report to the authorities even if your property was closed or had no guests during the month. These reports help national and local administrations track tourism trends and plan tourism more effectively.

To learn more about the official rules, read the ISTAT Reporting Guidelines.

What Information is Required for Statistical Reporting?

Each month, hosts must report the property name, property type, days open or closed, available rooms and beds, guest check-ins, guest nationalities, and occupied nights. A property counts as open if it was available for at least one day in the month, and as closed only if it stayed closed for the entire month.

• 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
  • 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 additional information, including 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 for Statistical Reporting?

Each province in Italy has its own regional portal, and hosts must register there to get login credentials. The registration process varies by local authority, but you will generally need to identify the correct portal for your property's location, register as an accommodation provider, receive your username and password, and then use those credentials to submit monthly reports.

1. Identify the correct regional portal based on the 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 Statistical Report in Italy?

Each province has its own regional portal where accommodation providers must submit their data. To reduce manual work, Holidu offers automatic statistical reporting as part of its regulatory support for the Italian market. Once your stats account is connected, Holidu sends the required data for you on a recurring basis.

How to Enable Automatic Reporting

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

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 through 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 and can remain automated.

How to Connect Your Property to Statistical 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 Save changes.

Once connected, Holidu handles the recurring submissions, including reports for months without guests, so you can focus on hosting.
