Response from the competent authority: "Reply from the Ministry of the Interior: Dear\
  \ Sir or Madam, We thank you for your initiative, but we would also like to clarify\
  \ the current situation in the field of tourism reporting. Given that in the past\
  \ we ourselves have identified the unnecessary burdens you write about, we have\
  \ embarked on an inter-ministerial project to simplify tourism reporting, or e-Tourism\
  \ for short.The aim of the project is to relieve business entities (reporting units)\
  \ of statistical and other reporting, while at the same time streamlining the work\
  \ of all users and ensuring a higher quality of the data collected, with the aim\
  \ of providing data in one place and only once. The implementation activities are\
  \ intensively carried out between the representatives of the Ministry of the Interior,\
  \ AJPES, SURS, Ministry of Regional Development and Trade, the Police of the Republic\
  \ of Slovenia and municipalities and are in the final stage of completion. Implementation\
  \ and transition to the test environment is planned for 2014, after the adoption\
  \ of the amendments to the Law on Registration of Residence, which will abolish\
  \ the collection of data on place of birth, and the Law on Promotion of Tourism\
  \ Development.By establishing a single entry point for the reporting needs of business\
  \ entities, the availability of all relevant information on reporting in one place,\
  \ an electronically supported reporting process, the aggregation of the same type\
  \ of data and the reduction of the number of reports required, the elimination of\
  \ reporting on the same issues to multiple authorities, the streamlining and single\
  \ view of data - ex officio data exchange, we will thus contribute to:- to more\
  \ efficient operations, - to time savings, - to cost reductions, - to the streamlining\
  \ of the functioning of public administration and - to a greater overview of information\
  \ and data on the operations of business entities.The first of the perceived problems\
  \ in the existing system is the fragmentation of data or information on the accommodation\
  \ establishments themselves, as there is no single central register of them. In\
  \ addition to the above, the analyses carried out have shown that the main data\
  \ reporting problems are the amount of data that accommodation establishments have\
  \ to send, the frequency of sending and the obsolescence of the system - data are\
  \ still entered manually and sent by ordinary mail. In addition, the set of data\
  \ required by the authorities for their further processing is very extensive. In\
  \ most cases, the data are identical and have to be communicated to different institutions.\
  \ We have calculated that the legislation imposes costs of around \u20AC400,000\
  \ on economic operators and \u20AC143,000 on public administrations on an annual\
  \ basis. According to the information we have obtained from the analysis of the\
  \ accommodation establishments, the professional public and the public sector bodies,\
  \ the solutions need to be adapted in order to reduce the amount of data to be periodically\
  \ reported to the public sector, to optimise the frequency of reporting, and to\
  \ set up a web-based system whereby accommodation establishments would send the\
  \ necessary data to all eligible entities that need the data in one single data\
  \ transmission, which would be collected from a single administrative source by\
  \ the accommodation establishments. What are the objectives to be achieved by the\
  \ proposed single entry point reporting model?1. The establishment of a central\
  \ register will cover all accommodation establishments (in fact every establishment);2.\
  \ The quality of the data will be much higher;3. Monitoring will be more efficient;4.\
  \ The grey economy will be prevented;5. Business operators (reporting establishments)\
  \ will be relieved of the burden of the reporting process by achieving optimum simplicity\
  \ and time-efficiency of reporting; and6. The work in terms of tourism reporting\
  \ in the public administration will be rationalised."
