Get ready to register your visitor accommodation in Wales

The law is changing – make sure you’re ready

From October 2026, anyone who takes bookings for overnight stays in Wales must register with the Welsh Revenue Authority (WRA) by law. 

The visitor accommodation register will give a clearer picture of the tourism sector across Wales. 

It applies to all providers, from informal hosts to professional operators. This includes hosting for one night, seasonally or year-round.

Registration is free and takes most people under 15 minutes.
