INE-PMS integration:
why is it necesary?

In certain countries (Spain is one of them) it is a legal requirement that each hotel shares a certain number of data with the national statistical institute.

It translates into a lot of manual work and effort, in case the INE software is not connected to your PMS. If it is, it all goes automatically, as the PMS sends periodically all required info to the state.

Please feel free to read more about the INE and its key responsibilities.


Spain has its own national statistical institute, which is called the "Instituto Nacional de Estadística" (INE), translating to the National Institute of Statistics. The INE is responsible for collecting, processing, and disseminating statistical information about various aspects of the Spanish economy, society, and demographics.

Key responsibilities of the INE in Spain include:

Economic Statistics: Compiling and analyzing data on economic indicators such as GDP, inflation, employment, trade, industry, and services to provide insights into the performance of the Spanish economy.

Social Statistics: Gathering information on demographics, population trends, education, health, housing, and social welfare to monitor social conditions and inform public policy decisions.

Census Operations: Conducting periodic censuses and surveys to collect detailed information about the population, households, and housing stock in Spain. This data is used for demographic analysis, urban planning, and resource allocation.

Regional and Local Statistics: Providing statistical data at the regional and local levels to support regional development policies, urban planning, and local governance.

International Cooperation: Collaborating with international organizations, such as Eurostat (the statistical office of the European Union) and the United Nations, to ensure the comparability and harmonization of statistical data across countries and regions.

Overall, the INE plays a crucial role in providing accurate, reliable, and comprehensive statistical information to support decision-making, research, and policy development in Spain.
