Welcome is a type of greeting designed to introduce a person to a new place or situation and to make him feel at ease. The term can also be used to describe the feeling of being accepted by a new person.

In some contexts, the welcome extends to a stranger in a specific area or household. “The concept of welcome a stranger implies the intentional inclusion in the interaction of those factors that make others feel that they belong, that they matter, and that you want to know them.” However, it is noted that “in many community settings, welcoming is viewed as in conflict with ensuring safety. This makes the welcoming somewhat self-limiting: “We will be welcoming if you do not do something dangerous.” Different cultures have their traditional forms of greeting, and you can go into an effort to welcome.

Indications that visitors are welcome can appear at different levels. For example, a welcome sign at the national, state, or municipal level is a road sign on the border of a region that introduces or greets visitors to the region. A welcome sign may also be present for a particular community or for an individual building.

One architect suggested that “the main difference between a gateway and a Welcome sign is that the gateway is typically designed and created by an outsider, architect, or developer, and the welcome sign is designed and created by an internal community member.” A welcome mat is a door that greets visitors to a home or other building, giving them a place to wipe their feet in front of the entrance.

Another social tradition is the welcome wagon, a phrase originally referring to the actual wagon containing a collection of useful gifts collected by residents of a particular area to greet new people moving to the area.
