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

Important Notice (Updated October 2025)

Statistical reporting in Italy is a legal requirement for all accommodation providers. This guide explains how the process works and how Holidu can help streamline your compliance with Italian 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 detailed information, you can refer to the ISTAT Reporting Guidelines.

What Information is Required?

Each month, hosts must report the following details to comply with Italian statistical reporting requirements:

• 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, hosts will need to follow these steps:

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.

How to Submit the Report?

Each province in Italy has its own regional portal where accommodation providers must submit their data. To make this process easier, Holidu offers an automatic statistical reporting feature as part of its regulatory support for the Italian market. Once connected, the required data is sent automatically, so you can spend less time on manual submissions.

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, supporting your compliance with reporting requirements even when your property is unoccupied.

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 changes

Once you have completed these steps, your property will be connected to the statistical reporting system, and Holidu will automatically handle your monthly submissions to ensure you remain compliant with Italian regulations.
