Important Notice (Updated October 2025)

Statistical reporting is a legal requirement for all accommodation providers in Italy. This guide will help you understand the process and how Holidu can simplify your compliance with these regulations.

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 both national and local levels, allowing governments and local administrations to plan tourism more effectively.

Even if your property was closed or had no guests during the month, you are still required to submit the report.

For more information, refer to the ISTAT Reporting Guidelines.

What Information is Required?

Each month, you must report the following details about your property and its activities:

• Property name
• Property type (e.g., hotel, B&B, holiday home)
• Days open or closed
  • A property is considered open if it was available for at least one day in the month
  • It 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

How Do Hosts Get Credentials?

Each province in Italy has its own regional portal where hosts must register to obtain their 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.
