1. No 80ID - 80ID is for newly constructed Hotels

2.same as above.

3.No idea!

4.The specified places do not include Kanchipuram. (places near delhi)

5.Yes. No 80ID for Resorts. The Hotels are clearly defined.

6.Not required.

The Intention of 80 ID is to promote star hotels which would facilitate foreigners and domestic sports buffs to stay during common wealth games in 2010.
