خلفية ثقافية
The term 'Willkommenskultur' is intrinsically linked to this idiom. It represents the social ideal of being a welcoming nation. In Austria, hospitality ({die|f} Gastfreundschaft) is a major part of the national identity, especially in the tourism sector. While Swiss people are often seen as more reserved, the phrase is used in business to signal openness to international investment. The gesture of open arms is a universal sign of peace, dating back to times when it showed one had no hidden weapons.
