The basic reasoning behind it is that costs are going up, but the providers are reluctant to increase the costs by too much; therefore they cut back on the contents (added extras such as insurance and cutting the size of the chocolate bars).in
A few years ago the travel industry was investigated and castigated for unfair pricing of the insurance they offered; that may have something to do with it although I doubt it. Not offering the insurance means that they can cut a few more staff off the payroll, or transfer them to something more profitable.
The same cost-cutting is going on all over the holiday company I travel with used to include 2 or 3 trips in the 5 day holiday with no extra cost. It is now down to one while the others are "optional".
Incidentally does any one know of an organisation that provides insurance for sending parcels or post if the carrier does not offer it?
