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.
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.

>> total investment Marie | 1 400 000 CZK |
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.

Marie’s profit | 671 500 CZK | 6 715 000 CZK |
return on investment Marie | 48 % | 480 % |
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).
1 year | 10 years | |
---|---|---|
sales net of VAT | 452 500 CZK | 4 525 000 |
operating costs (cleaning, supplies, repairs) | -57 500 CZK | -575 000 CZK |
commission OOTOOLNO | -113 100 CZK | -1 131 000 CZK |
Marie’s profit | 281 900 CZK | 2 819 000 CZK |
return on investment Marie | 20,1 % | 201 % |
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.
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.

>> Peter’s monthly instalment | 9 750 CZK |
Let’s imagine both scenarios again. First, the occupancy rate is 85% at an average price per night of CZK 4,000 incl. VAT.
1 year | 10 years | |

sales net of VAT | CZK 1 025 600 | 10 256 000 CZK |
operating costs (cleaning, supplies, repairs) | -97 700 CZK | -977 000 CZK |
commission OOTOOLNO | -256 400 CZK | -2 564 000 CZK |
instalment for the period | -117 000 CZK | -1 170 000 CZK |
Peter’s gain | 554 500 CZK | 5 545 000 CZK |
return on investment Petra | 37 % | 370 % |
And now the occupancy rate is 50% with an average price per night of CZK 3,000 incl. VAT.
1 year | 10 years | |

commission OOTOOLNO | -113 100 CZK | -1 131 000 CZK |
instalment for the period | -117 000 CZK | -1 170 000 CZK |
Peter’s gain | 164 900 CZK | 1 649 000 CZK |
return on investment Petra | 11 % | 110 % |
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.
