The need to establish this platform arose on account of Municipal Licensing of Hotels & Restaurants for levying high fees/taxes and erratic classification. A special meeting was therefore, convened to discuss the issue and an ad-hoc committee was formed under the presidentship of Mr. M.Damani in 1972.

It was later unanimously agreed to register the body framing Aims & Objectives. The constitution and bye-laws were drafted approved and finally registered vide Regn. No. 123 with Registrar of Companies, Jaipur under the name and style "HOTEL association UDAIPUR".

In line with the constitution and bye-law the election was held and Mr.M.Damani was declared as founder President and Mr.Harbhajan Singh as the founder Secretary along with his team of six executive members.
