Discovery Map® of Cocoa Beach Wins Hospitality and Tourism Award at Space Coast Honors

Cocoa Beach, FL – Discovery Map® of Cocoa Beach has been honored with the Hospitality and Tourism Award at this year’s Space Coast Honors. The annual event, organized by the Cocoa Beach Regional Chamber of Commerce, celebrates local businesses for their contributions to the community, and Discovery Map® of Cocoa Beach stood out for its exceptional work in promoting the local tourism and hospitality industries.

Since taking ownership of the Space Coast Discovery Maps, Jeff Willis and his team have established valuable partnerships with local business owners who rely on effective marketing to attract tourists. Discovery Maps are a trusted resource for visitors, available at key tourist hubs, including Ports of Call for cruise passengers and at nearly every hotel front desk and concierge in the region.

While digital platforms dominate modern marketing, printed maps have seen a resurgence in popularity among tourists seeking engaging, tangible resources. Discovery Map® offers vibrant, illustrated maps showcasing local attractions, dining spots, and shopping destinations. These eye-catching maps serve as powerful marketing tools for advertisers, not only placing their brand directly in the hands of visitors but also driving them to explore advertisers’ digital content.

“We are incredibly proud to receive this award,” said Jeff Willis, owner of Discovery Map® of Cocoa Beach and Discovery Map® of Melbourne. “It reflects the hard work and passion of our team, but more importantly, it’s a testament to the trust placed in us by local business owners. We share this honor with all of our partners who help us showcase the vibrant attractions, restaurants, shops, and hotels in Cocoa Beach, Melbourne, and across the Space Coast.”

Peter Hans, CEO of Discovery Map International, praised Willis and his team, stating, “This award highlights not only their excellence in hospitality and tourism but also the profound impact local franchises like Jeff’s have on their communities. We are thrilled to see Discovery Map® making such a positive difference on the Space Coast and earning this recognition.”

Jimmy Lane, President & CEO of the Cocoa Beach Regional Chamber of Commerce, emphasized the significance of the Space Coast Honors: “This event is our biggest opportunity of the year to celebrate local businesses. Jeff and his team at Discovery Map® exemplify the spirit of innovation and commitment to community that we aim to recognize. Congratulations to all the winners.”
