Yesterday marked the 61st running of the highly anticipated Fortune 500 list, on which companies worldwide are ranked by their total revenues for the previous year.
This year, the businesses included account for 26.8 million jobs across the globe. Though companies like Wal-Mart (No.1), Exxon Mobil (No. 2), and Apple (No. 5) dominate the top of the list, many travel brands also made the cut.
Disney was rated No. 57 (up from No. 61 last year) because their fans simply can’t let it go. The hit movie Frozen was the company’s largest grossing animated film of all time, plus, the media powerhouse boasted record-breaking annual revenues across all channels for the fourth year in a row.
Along with hotels, entertainment companies, and online booking agencies, multiple airlines made the list. American Airlines Group, the largest carrier in the world, was ranked at No. 70, and Delta Airlines came in at 73 after focusing on unique strategies like purchasing its own oil refinery plant and refurbishing old airplanes.
