AHOJ z NYC!

I have very inquisitive students of Czech who come up with some amazing questions. Here is one: Why at the airport in Prague, a sign says "Vitejte v Praze!" vs. "Vitame vas v Praze!"? Where does the use of imperative "Vitejte" come from? The invitees are ordered to invite?!

Some said, well it's the same as n English (Welcome!) or German (Wilkommen!) I believe that in those languages itr is just an abreviation of We welcome you, wir wilkommen euch. NOT IMPERATIVE as in Czech! Any suggestions?
