Various perks are offered to the employees as incentives. LTC (Leave travel concession) is one of these perks provided to the Government employees of India, once in the block of four years. The employees along with their family members can visit a single destination in India. The two way travel fare is borne by the Government and the rest expenses are borne by the Employee. LTC as a means to promote tourism in Jharkhand would not only boost up domestic tourism, but also the state would be financially strong through tourism. Jharkhand with its vast natural resources has not able to utilize properly and is not able to attract tourists. In turn Jharkhand Government can look forward to generate revenue from tourism.In this paper a survey was conducted of sample size of 128 Government employees in Ranchi. SPSS Version 11 was used for statistical analysis in this paper.
