Do the math

Yes, glamping is a very attractive industry with stable income and high returns. For example, compared to traditional investment properties, it is many times higher.

But watch out! In recent years it has become a standard, market-competitive industry. It’s no longer enough to put up a seat or a marquee in a meadow and hope. As in any other business, only the best succeed. You can’t recoup the cost of your own optimized booking platform and professional marketing for one or two cabins. That’s why we’ve come up with a franchise offer where you get all that and more for free as part of the package.

Remember, it’s not the amount of investment that matters, but the return and safety!

Let’s do the math and show two examples. Introducing Mary and Peter.

1/ Marie Courageous

Maria was intrigued by the offer of a franchise partnership. She had a picturesque plot of land ready, so she jumped at the 100,000 CZK discount that OOTOOLNO offers for the first 5 partners. OOTOOLNO also provides free shipping across the country.

85% occupancy

Thanks to OOTOOLNO’s experience, a sophisticated booking platform, customer care and strong marketing, Maria’s room was 85% occupied (average year-round occupancy) at an average price per night of CZK 4,000 incl. VAT (also the average price per night of ootoolniki). For comparison, prices on the Czech glamping market range from CZK 3,000-6,000 per night.

50% occupancy

Nice profit, isn’t it? But what would the results have looked like if Maria’s paddock hadn’t performed as planned? Let’s imagine a scenario where her ootoolna is only 50% occupied, and at a price per night of CZK 3,000 incl. VAT (which is the price of the cheapest glamping stays).

Even in this conservative scenario, it is an investment with a great return that Marie would be hard pressed to find elsewhere. Marie is happy and is considering getting another ootoolna. However, she no longer has the capital or the available land. We at OOTOOLNO can provide both for her.

2/ Petr Rozvážný

Peter still wasn’t sure. He had the land, but was hesitant to use it for glamping or other purposes. In addition, he was worried about whether he would get a return on his investment in glamping, so he missed out on a discount for the first 5 partners. However, he was intrigued by an offer from OOTOOLNO to provide him with installment financing, and free shipping. So he became an OOTOOLNO franchisee as well.

85% occupancy

Let’s imagine both scenarios again. First, the occupancy rate is 85% at an average price per night of CZK 4,000 incl. VAT.

50% occupancy

And now the occupancy rate is 50% with an average price per night of CZK 3,000 incl. VAT.

Peter’s gain164 900 CZK1 649 000 CZK

In both cases, the income of the ootoolnitsa not only covers the repayment, but brings Peter a significant profit from the first months. Even in the pessimistic scenario, Peter achieves a return of 11% per annum. Thus, Peter’s land does not lie fallow, but has become a source of income. And Peter is an entrepreneur.
