Information agency Credinform represents the ranking of the largest Russian travel companies. The enterprises with the largest volume of annual revenue (TOP-10) involved in tourist activity were selected for the ranking, according to the data from the Statistical Register for the latest available periods (for 2014 – 2017). Then they were ranked by solvency ratio (Table 1). The analysis was made on the basis of the data of the Information and Analytical system Globas.

Solvency ratio (х) is calculated as the relation of the amount of equity capital to balance sum and shows company's dependence on external loans.

Recommended value is: >0,5. The ratio value below the minimum recommended limit means a dependence on external sources of financing that may adversely impact liquidity and lead to an unstable financial situation of the company in case of a worsening economic situation. The experts of the Information agency Credinform,taking into account the actual situation both in the economy as a whole and in the sectors, has developed and implemented in the Information and Analytical system Globas the calculation of practical values of financial ratios that can be recognized as normal for a particular industry. For travel companies industry average practical values of the solvency ratio made from 0,00 up to 1,00 in 2017 (Table 1).

For getting of the most comprehensive and fair picture of the financial standing of an enterprise it is necessary to pay attention to all combination of indicators and financial ratios.
