Are the primary guest’s nationality and countryOfResidence optional in the initial hotel search request? Assuming they are optional, if they are not provided, what will happen to nationality based rates and rates with restrictions on the guest’s country of residence? Is this related to the "allowedCountries" in the Room and Rates response (under “rates”)? Why have both country of residence and nationality?

In the Hotel Search Result response (sample partially pasted below), a. is the rate the lowest rate available for hotel id 12345 and is provided by EAN? The “rate” is an array, so can be multiple. If multiple, what are the criteria? b. Is this rate(s) specific for the request? For example, if the hotel has a $100 rate for a room for 2 adults, but for 4 adults the lowest rate is $150, and we submit a request for 4 adults, will the response return $100 or $150?

Can the Hotel Search Request include “type” or "category", e.g. if we want only properties with “type”= “hotel” or “resort” (or “category” = “resort” or “motel”)?
