# Tourist apartment occupancy survey

> How to recognise the INE's tourist apartments survey, how to get its XML file in Roomdoo through support, and how to answer it.

## How to recognise it

If your property is registered as tourist apartments, the INE sends you the **Ocupación en Alojamientos Turísticos. Apartamentos** survey. It's different from the hotels one:

* The questionnaire asks for the data of **one fortnight** of the month.
* The data is split by **apartment type** (studio, 2 to 4 places, 4 to 6 places, and others): capacity, occupancy and prices.
* The category is expressed in **keys** (0 to 4).
* It asks for the details of the person answering: name, position, phone and email.

## Ask support for the apartments file

Roomdoo can already generate the XML file for the apartments survey: ask support for it. We're finishing the work so you can generate it yourself from the app, and it will be available soon.

In the meantime, don't use the app's **INE** report for this survey: it generates the file for the **hotels** survey, which doesn't work for the apartments one. If you upload it to an apartments questionnaire, IRIA rejects it with a schema error like this one:

```
El XML no cumple el Schema asociado a la versión de guión. El esquema no es válido:
cvc-elt.1.a: Cannot find the declaration of element 'ENCUESTA'.
```

## How to answer it

You have two options:

* **Answer with the XML file**: ask support for it, telling us the property and the month, and keep the INE's communication at hand. Once you have it, upload it to IRIA as explained below.
* **Fill in the on-screen form in IRIA**, with the data for the fortnight the questionnaire asks for.

<Warning>
  The XML file contains **every day of the month**, from the 1st to the last, even if the questionnaire only asks for a fortnight.
</Warning>

## How the file is uploaded in IRIA

The process in IRIA is the same as for the hotels survey: upload icon (without clicking **Cumplimentar encuesta**), **Email**, **Cargar XML respuestas**, **Enviar cuestionario** to validate it and, if there are no errors, **Acceder al cuestionario** and **Enviar**. It's explained step by step in [Export data for the INE survey](/en/compliance/ine).

The INE publishes its own manual for apartments (in Spanish): [¿Cómo subir correctamente el fichero XML? (apartamentos)](https://iria.ine.es/iriaEstaticos/encuestas/apa/es/Manual_XML_APA.pdf).

## When to contact support

* You need the XML file for the apartments survey.
* You uploaded the hotels file to an apartments questionnaire and don't know how to continue.
* You're not sure whether your property is registered as a hotel or as tourist apartments.
