Rules
What the texts say
What the texts say
In Catalonia, Andalusia and the Valencian Community, a tourist dwelling must be entered in the region’s tourism register: the figures on this page come from those registers.

Method, sources and privacy
How the figures are computed
The regional registers are read in full at each (monthly) update and counted municipality by municipality: only these counts are kept, never an individual record.
“Tourist dwelling” = habitatge d’ús turístic (Catalonia), vivienda de uso turístico (Andalusia), vivienda turística (Valencian Community), plus rooms in the host’s home in Catalonia; in Lombardy: holiday homes and apartments, tourist rentals, B&Bs.
Density = tourist dwellings / population × 1,000 (INE, Padrón municipal; ISTAT for Italy). Eurostat nights cover all accommodation sold via platforms, hotels included.
A municipality page is published from 5 registered establishments; it is offered to search engines only with at least 20 tourist dwellings and a second municipality-level indicator (bed places, company share, registration years or at least 30 Inside Airbnb listings).
Privacy (GDPR)
- Aggregates only: no names, addresses, owners or per-host data.
- A municipality is published only from 5 registered establishments (or when its official flows are published).
- Any sub-total from 1 to 5 − 1 (type, year, owners) is hidden; a share is computed only when each group has at least 5 establishments.
- The sources’ statistical confidentiality (ISTAT “dato riservato”) is preserved.
