So what does Elsa NOT do as co-owner and manager of Port AdVenture Cruises?
As the co-owner, Elsa has a very hands-on role including taking the bookings, overseeing the catering, promotion and marketing and, when they finish the cruises, cleaning and servicing the vessel. Port AdVenture Cruises provides an amazing variety of events and celebrations, from weddings to birthday parties to gigs to having a fun day out with seniors. Port AdVenture Cruises' big difference and point of sale is that the venue cruises the river with changing scenery every five minutes!
100% commitment
Elsa is one of the fortunate people who has found her vocation and is highly committed to what she does, every single day. Armed with a strong work ethic, if she gets a work-related call at 10pm, she will answer it.
“Being in business you must be prepared for 100% commitment and you must love your job. To be cruising the Hastings River every day, almost always seeing dolphins and getting warm feedback from our customers is very special for me.” - Elsa Barbosa
Sailing through tough times
Port AdVenture Cruises has experienced its fair share of challenges, like so many other businesses during the pandemic. In spite of the devastating impact of COVID, Elsa and David were both determined to be successful and find ways to ride it out.
Elsa keeps a clear head on steady shoulders and surrounds herself with positive people who inspire and advise her to do things better. She's always ready to listen and ask questions. Her drive to always learn and improve can be clearly seen in her nomination last year to be on the Greater Port Macquarie Tourism Association Board. Needless to say, she was delighted to be accepted.
Elsa and David have always been clear that they need to constantly upgrade and keep up with the times if they want to sail further ahead. They have sought advice from technology professionals and have set up their social media channels and revamped their website. Elsa knows they need to work on this aspect of their business, harnessing modern technology to reach out to clients.
Port AdVenture Cruises continues to sail forward bravely into the future!
