said Peter Hans, president of Discovery Map International. “Local business owners love our map as a one-of-a-kind advertising resource as people tend to keep Discovery Maps and refer to them again and again during and sometimes, after their visits. This provides an even greater level of exposure for each advertiser who bought space on our map.”
