The article describes the important role of information in agritourism. The development of agritourism of two countries (Poland and Ukraine) was observed in this research. The comparison was made based on the Internet sources available on each country's web sites. A nonparametric statistical method AHP developed by T. Saaty was used for the estimation purpose. One region of each country (Kiev region and Mazowieckie voivodship, respectively) was chosen for this purpose. The comparison between these regions was made using the program Super Decision Software. The authors have concluded that the Polish agritourism is more developed and has better qualitative characteristics than the Ukrainian one. The main aim is to determine the importance of information through the comparison of agribusiness activity in two different countries. Another aim is to analyse the development of agritourism in the two countries in order to define the main problems existing in this sector of economy in both countries. The data sources for the research were taken from the Internet, since the importance of Internet is growing from year to year and it has become the most popular place for finding information.
