Although Diploma IV Program in Tourism of Udayana University is under the Faculty of Literature of Udayana University, based on the Decree of Higher Education Number 67/Kep/1989 dated 22 July 1989 Diploma IV Program in Tourism was established as an inter-faculty study program in Udayana University. 

After the establishment, the daily operation of PSIK was led by a Chairman of Study Program, assisted by Assistant Chairmen I, II, and III. The first Chairman of Study Program of PSIK and the founding father of this study program was Prof. Drs. Ida Bagus Adnyana Manuaba.
