Important Notice (Updated October 2025)

This guide reflects Italian statistical reporting requirements as of October 2025. Requirements, portals, and registration steps can change, so check your local authority or tourism office for the latest rules that apply to your property.

What is Statistical Reporting?

In Italy, all accommodation providers must submit monthly statistical reports to the authorities. These reports help track tourism trends at national and local levels, so governments 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 reporting rules, see the ISTAT Reporting Guidelines.

What Information is Required?

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

• Property name
• Property type (for example, hotel, B&B, or holiday home)
• Days open or closed
  • A property counts as open if it was available for at least one day in the month.
  • A property counts as 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, you must also report the province where they live.
• 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 like 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, and hosts must register there to get login credentials. The registration process varies by 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 your login credentials (username and password).
4. Use these credentials to submit your monthly statistical reports.

If you are not sure where to register, contact 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 automatic statistical reporting as part of its regulatory support for the Italian market. Once you connect your stats account, Holidu sends the required data for you, so you spend less time on manual submissions.

How to Enable Automatic Reporting

Connect your stats account in Holidu. The integration then handles 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 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 these 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 and cover all of your bookings. Your Alloggiati Web connection, which is used for guest check-in registration, is not affected and can stay 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 Save changes.
