Online Check-in - Statistical Reporting in Italy – A Simple Guide for Hosts

Important Notice (Updated October 2025)

Statistical reporting requirements in Italy have been updated to ensure accurate tourism data collection. All accommodation providers must comply with current regulations. This guide will help you understand and fulfill your reporting obligations efficiently through Holidu's automated system.

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 detailed information, refer to the ISTAT Reporting Guidelines.

What Information is Required?

Each month, hosts must report the following details:

• Property name – The official name of your accommodation
• 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
  • It is considered closed only if it remained closed for the entire month
• Total available rooms for that month – The number of rooms you offered
• Total available beds for that month – The total bed capacity
• Total number of guests checked in during that month – Count of all arrivals
• Guest nationalities
  • If guests are Italian, the province where they reside must also be reported
• Total number of occupied nights – Sum of all nights booked

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, hosts will need to follow these steps:

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 Report?

Each province in Italy has its own regional portal where accommodation providers must submit their data. However, to make this process easier and ensure compliance, Holidu offers an automatic statistical reporting feature as part of its regulatory support for the Italian market.

How to Enable Automatic Reporting

Once you connect your statistics account in Holidu, the integration takes care of recurring submissions automatically. This means you will spend less time on manual submissions and reduce the risk of missed deadlines.

The Holidu ISTAT integration also reports to ISTAT when there are no guests during a given month, supporting compliance with the reporting requirements even when your property is unoccupied. This ensures you meet all legal obligations without additional effort.

How to Connect Your Property to Statistics Reporting

Follow these steps to enable automatic statistical reporting for your property:

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 on Validate and save your changes

Once connected, your property data will be automatically sent to the relevant Italian authorities each month, ensuring full compliance with statistical reporting regulations.

Statistical reporting in Italy is a mandatory requirement for all accommodation providers. By using Holidu's automatic reporting feature, you can ensure timely and accurate submissions without the hassle of manual data entry.
