disagree  Daniel Burns: Fate has an ominous sound. I don't think many people would be attractedby an invitation to meet their fate in a nightclub.

  -> Really? I never thought of it like that, I have always seen destiny and fate as synonyms and they appear as such when you look it up in a dictionary. But thanks, I've learnt something, and I will look a bit more into it, now I am curious!

Tu destino está aquí
We've been waiting for you!


Explanation:
When coming up with slogans etc, my preference is to concentrate on the appeal of the phrase in the target language. Obviously you should try to incorporate the original idea as far as possible, and that's what I've tried to do here. But I don't think a word for word (or nearly word for word) translation works very often.

To my ear, 'We've been waiting for you!' has the right kind of upbeat, concise ring that you need in a context like this - it implies a large group of friendly people just waiting to add you to their ranks!

Others may disagree of course ;-)
