Local Discovery Map® Team Recognized with 2025 Hospitality and Tourism Award for Second Year in a Row

Cocoa Beach and Melbourne Discovery Maps, part of Florida Space Coast Enterprises, LLC and locally owned by Jeff Willis, have once again been recognized with the prestigious Hospitality and Tourism Award at the annual Space Coast Honors. This marks the second consecutive year the company has received this honor from Accelerate Brevard: Chamber of Innovation — a validation of the trust placed in Discovery Map® by the community and Florida’s tourism industry.

Since acquiring the Discovery Map franchises along Florida’s Space Coast, Willis and his team have built powerful partnerships with local businesses, making the Discovery Map® the go-to resource for visitors and locals alike. In addition to Cocoa Beach and Melbourne, the company now serves New Smyrna Beach, Daytona Beach, St. Augustine and Jacksonville Beaches, and most recently, Cape Coral, Fort Myers, and the Treasure Coast.

The Discovery Maps are proactively handed to more than 10 million visitors to Florida annually, providing unmatched visibility for local businesses.

“Receiving this recognition underscores our commitment to helping local businesses capture the attention of millions of visitors,” said Jeff Willis, owner of multiple Florida markets. “With more than 10 million tourists relying on our maps each year, we provide a proven, affordable way for local businesses to be discovered — right at the moment visitors are deciding where to shop, stay, eat, and play. Every placement is designed to turn tourist attention into real customers walking through local doors.”

Peter Hans, CEO of Discovery Map International, congratulated the Florida team: “Jeff and his team’s continued success is inspiring. Two consecutive Hospitality and Tourism Awards demonstrate the powerful role that Discovery Maps play in supporting local businesses and
enhancing the visitor experience. Their expansion across Florida is an incredible milestone, and we’re proud to see Discovery Maps leading the way in hospitality marketing.”

Jimmy Lane, President & CEO of Accelerate Brevard: Chamber of Innovation, added: “The Space Coast Honors celebrate businesses that elevate our community and economy. Jeff and his Discovery Map team embody innovation, dedication, and hospitality, and their back-to-
back wins speak volumes about their impact. We are proud to recognize their achievements once again.”
