This research aimed to identify the push and pull factors of the motivation of senior tourists from Asia and non-Asia in choosing Bali as their destination, as well as examining any differences in the push and pull factors of both groups of nationality. Exploratory factor analysis that was continued with differences analysis were completed to analyse the data. Results revealed six factors that pushed seniors to travel to Bali: 1) exploring and increasing knowledge about the local culture, 2) quality time and visiting nostalgic places with close accompanies, 3) relaxation and having fun, 4) spending time with family members, 5) rejuvenation and health, 6) sharing about destination experience. In addition, there were four pull factors namely: 1) hospitality services and tourist attractions, 2) local culture, 3) natural scenery and climate, 4) quite rest area. While significant differences shown between Asian and non-Asian in factors that intrinsically pushed them totravel to Bali, no significant differences appeared between senior tourists from two groups of nationaliy in considering Bali’s destination attributes that pulled them to visit the island.

Data broadcasting has emerged as an efficient way for the dissemination of information over asymmetric wireless environments where the needs of the various users of the data items are usually overlapping. In such environments, data broadcasting stands to be an efficient solution since the broadcast of a single information item is likely to satisfy a possibly large number of users. Communications asymmetry is due to a number of facts, the most important being equipment, network, and application asymmetry. This chapter starts with a discussion of preliminary issues and terminology for asymmetric environments for data broadcasting. The chapter then discusses broadcast schedule construction for systems employing a single broadcast channel, schedule construction for systems employing multiple broadcast channels, and schedule construction for systems that take into account the effect of reception errors. It then presents an algorithm that tries to provide better support for clients whose access patterns deviate a lot form the overall access pattern of the client population. It also presents algorithms for environments where item requests by clients are dropped if not served in a certain time period. Brief comments on issues that affect performance of the discussed data broadcasting methods are also made.
