UAE Govt Export

This article describes the UAE Govt Export, which generates a guest data file for submission to UAE government authorities.

 

Overview

The UAE Govt Export report is designed for the Department of Culture and Tourism (DCT) in the UAE. It is a mandatory government compliance requirement — properties must submit export files (check-in, check-out, forecast, reservation, occupancy summary, and revenue data) to the DCT.

The UAE Govt Export produces a data file containing guest information from reservations on a selected date.

The file can be created as a direct download or transmitted via FTP to the relevant authority.

✎ Please Note: RMS is highly configurable. Some Terminology, User Access & Permissions, Images, Labels, and Functions used in these articles may differ from your setup. CLICK HERE to find out more.

 

 

Use Cases

  • Daily compliance reporting - Run the Daily Export each day to generate a guest data file covering arrivals and in-house guests, meeting the government's daily submission requirement.
  • Hourly reporting - Select the Hourly Export type for properties required to submit guest data more frequently throughout the day.
  • Multi-property operations - On databases with multiple properties, select the relevant property before exporting to produce a file scoped to that property only.
  • Automated submission via FTP - Use the Send via FTP option to transmit the file directly to the government system without manual download and upload steps.

 

How to Access

In the side menu of RMS, go to Reports > Management > Guests > UAE Govt Export.

 

Report Options

Use the options below to configure the export before generating the file.

★ Tip: Report build screens default to a common use configuration, and selections can be made as required.
Option Type Default Description
Date Date picker Today The date for which guest data is exported. Typically set to the current date for a daily submission.
Property Single-select dropdown First property Selects the property whose guest data is included in the export. Appears on multi-property databases only.
Export Type Single-select dropdown Daily Export

Sets the frequency format for the export file. Options:

  • Daily Export - generates a file covering the full selected day
  • Hourly Export - generates a file in an hourly submission format
Show Column Header Checkbox Unchecked When checked, includes a header row in the export file with column names. Uncheck if the receiving system does not accept headers.
Create Export File / Send via FTP Radio buttons Create Export File

Controls how the export file is delivered:

  • Create Export File - generates the file as a direct browser download
  • Send via FTP - transmits the file automatically to a configured FTP destination. Requires FTP credentials to be set up in advance.

 

Generating the Export

Once the options are configured, click Export File to generate the file. If Create Export File is selected, the file downloads directly to your browser. If Send via FTP is selected, the file is transmitted to the configured FTP destination and no download occurs.
