The central government on Thursday approved the creation of 'Hospitality Development and Promotion Board (HDPB)' for approving and facilitating hotel projects.

The centre would advise state governments/UTs to set up state level hospitality development and promotion boards on similar basis.

The board would monitor and facilitate the clearances/approvals of hotel projects both at the central and the states level.

The board would act as a single point for receiving applications for various clearances, including fast-tracking approvals/clearances of hotel project proposals in a time bound manner as also review of hotel project policies to encourage the growth of hotel/hospitality infrastructure in the country.

The board would take up the issue of clearances of hotel projects with the concerned ministries/departments/ authorities by meeting on fixed schedule basis.

The HDPB will not, however, supersede the statutory clearances of other agencies and will only act as a facilitator for the fast-track hotel project approvals in a time bound manner.
