Do not use 欢迎 with a preposition like 'to' before the person/place; just say 欢迎你 (welcome you) or 欢迎来中国 (welcome to China), not *欢迎到你.

Formality

欢迎 is standard for everyday greetings. In very formal settings (official ceremonies, written invitations), 热烈欢迎 (rè liè huān yíng, 'warmly welcome') is preferred.
