About HGV — Hoteliers- und Gastwirteverband Südtirol (Booking Südtirol)

The HGV — Hoteliers- und Gastwirteverband Südtirol — is South Tyrol's hospitality trade association and, unusually for a trade body, a piece of its members' technology stack. It represents around 4,500 members as the territorial organisation of the national associations Federalberghi and FIPE, providing legal, tax, personnel and marketing advice, and it operates Booking Südtirol, a regional accommodation portal through which member properties distribute directly. That dual role is why it shows up in this index next to commercial channel managers: for a South Tyrolean property the association is simultaneously its lobbyist, its consultant and one of its booking channels, and the portal carries demand that no international OTA competes for on the same terms.
