Peter Hans, Discovery Map International

What? A home-based business with the glamour of travel? Wanderlust and potential are what has always driven Americans. Funny, fast on the uptake and full of relatable stories, Peter Hans, CEO of Discovery Map, Inc. delivers both. During the pandemic, travel has been fairly limited. For many, that’s meant either a staycation at home or a regional road trip. Discovery Map, the leading provider of curated guides to top tourist attractions in cities and towns throughout North America, has become even more of a godsend to those day and road trippers. Peter outlines why his franchise opportunity is a little different. It’s not a 9-to-5 gig and you don’t necessarily have to work 12 months a year to be successful. You just have to be willing to work hard when you work. Peter began his career as an investment banker in Switzerland for six years and followed that with six more years in London. During that time, he traveled to most every major European city and also to Australia, Asia and South America. Discovery Map franchise owners come from many walks of life. Some are corporate/pandemic refugees or semi-retired individuals looking to build a business and fund their full retirement. Others include recent college grads, as well as mothers (and fathers) looking to build a business with hours around the kids’ school schedules.
