Hello, everyone!
I have a question about the use of "Welcome to". For example, a Chinese is going to visit America and he plans to go to Chicago. After knowing this, his American friend who lives in Los Angeles wants to welcome him through an online message. Could the American friend say "Welcome to Chicago", though this American lives in Los Angeles, rather than in Chicago. (I seemed to be told by a native English speaker that in similiar cases "You are welcome to Chicago" should be used instead.) I'm not quite sure. Thank you for your kind help!
