Yes, glamping is a very attractive sector with stable income and high returns — for example, many times higher than traditional real estate investments.
But beware! In recent years, it has become a standard, highly competitive market. It’s no longer enough to just place a hut or trailer in a meadow and hope for the best. As in any business, only the best succeed. The costs of running your own optimized booking platform and professional marketing cannot pay off with just one or two cabins. That’s why we created our franchise offer — where you get all this and much more included in the package, free of charge.
Remember: it’s not about the size of the investment, but about its return and security!
Let’s do the math and look at two examples. Meet Marie and Petr.
In both cases, the cabin’s income not only covers the installments but also brings Petr significant profit from the very first months. Even in the pessimistic scenario, Petr achieves an annual return of 11%. His land no longer lies idle but has become a source of income. And Petr has become an entrepreneur.

| >> Marie’s total investment: | CZK 1 400 000 | |
Thanks to OOTOOLNO’s expertise, fine-tuned booking platform, customer care, and strong marketing, Marie’s cabin achieved 85% occupancy (the average annual occupancy rate of OOTOOLNO cabins) at an average price of CZK 4,000 per night incl. VAT (also the average price per night of OOTOOLNO cabins). For comparison, prices on the Czech glamping market range from CZK 3,000 to 6,000 per night.

| Maria’s profit | CZK 671 500 | CZK 6 715 000 |
| Maria’s investment return | 48 % | 480 % |
Nice profit, right? But what would the results look like if Marie’s cabin didn’t perform as planned? Let’s imagine a scenario where her OOTOOLNO cabin is occupied only 50% of the time, and at a price of CZK 3,000 per night incl. VAT (which, as a reminder, is the price of the cheapest glamping stays).
| 1 year | 10 years | |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue excl. VAT | CZK 452 500 | CZK 4 525 000 |
| Operating costs (cleaning, supplies, repairs) | -CZK 57 500 | -CZK 575 000 |
| OOTOOLNO commission | -CZK 113 100 | -CZK 1 131 000 |
| Maria’s profit | CZK 281 900 | CZK 2 819 000 |
| Maria’s investment return | 20,1 % | 201 % |
Even in this conservative scenario, it’s still an investment with excellent returns that Marie would hardly find elsewhere. She is satisfied and already considering acquiring another OOTOOLNO cabin. However, she currently lacks the capital and free land. We at OOTOOLNO can provide both.
Petr was still unsure. He had land but hesitated whether to use it for glamping or for something else. He also worried whether the investment in glamping would pay off, so he missed the chance to get the discount for the first 5 partners. However, he was attracted by OOTOOLNO’s offer to provide financing in installments, along with free transportation. And so, he too became an OOTOOLNO franchisee.
| Franchise fee | CZK 1 450 000 | |

| Transportation within the Czech Republic | free | |
| Implementation | CZK 50 000 | |
| >> Total cost | CZK 1 500 000 | |
| >> Peter’s monthly instalment | CZK 9 750 | |
Let’s look again at both scenarios. First, 85% occupancy at an average price of CZK 4,000 per night incl. VAT.
| 1 year | 10 years | |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue excl. VAT | CZK 1 025 600 | CZK 10 256 000 |
| Operating costs (cleaning, supplies, repairs) | -CZK 97 700 | -CZK 977 000 |
| OOTOOLNO commission | -CZK 256 400 | -CZK 2 564 000 |
| Installments for the given period | -CZK 117 000 | -CZK 1 170 000 |
| Peter’s profit | CZK 554 500 | CZK 5 545 000 |
| return on investment Petra | 37 % | 370 % |
And now, 50% occupancy at an average price of CZK 3,000 per night incl. VAT.
| 1 year | 10 years | |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue excl. VAT | CZK 452 500 | CZK 4 525 000 |
| Operating costs (cleaning, supplies, repairs) | -CZK 57 500 | -CZK 575 000 |
| OOTOOLNO commission | -CZK 113 100 | -CZK 1 131 000 |
| Installments for the given period | -CZK 117 000 | -CZK 1 170 000 |
| Peter’s profit | CZK 164 900 | CZK 1 649 000 |
| Peter’s investment return | 11 % | 110 % |
In both cases, the cabin’s income not only covers the installments but also brings Petr significant profit from the very first months. Even in the pessimistic scenario, Petr achieves an annual return of 11%. His land no longer lies idle but has become a source of income. And Petr has become an entrepreneur.
