This post is one of a series of four posts discussing the Asian Lunar New Year in general and the Year of the Monkey in particular. In this blog, though, we will look at some of the business impact of the event.
Please look at the other three posts as well. These are
1) One Year, Many Traditions: Lunar New Year Customs Around the World: at http://davidvictorvector.blogspot.com/2012/01/one-new-year-many-traditions-lunar-new.html
2) Year of the Monkey: Some Background on the specifics of fortune and beliefs about this year's animal sign at http://davidvictorvector.blogspot.com/2016/01/year-of-monkey.html
3) Year of the Monkey 2016: 205 Celebrations Around the World. This post first indicates where the Lunar New Year is an official state holiday. The post then goes on to share the wide range of events taking place outside of those countries. The listing here gives 205 major celebrations (parades, galas or other celebrations) for the Year of the Monkey in 27 countries beyond where it is officially part of the tradition. Of these, 78 are in the United States, 30 in the United Kingdom, 21 in Canada, 19 in France, 17 in Australia, 5 in New Zealand, 4 each in the Netherlands and Thailand; 3 each in Spain, the Philippines and Malaysia, and 2 in Italy and Mexico. Additionally there were 1 each in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Dubai, Finland, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Panama, Papua New Guinea, Peru, Portugal, South Africa, and South Africa. This is available at http://davidvictorvector.blogspot.com/2016/01/year-of-monkey-2016-celebrations-around_26.html
You may also be interested to compare this year's overview of the business impact to that of last year's Year of the Horse, 2013's Year of the Snake or 2012's Year of the Dragon. Those posts are at

For this post, though, we will limit the subject ot the business impact of the Year of the Monkey.
Business Impact
World's Busiest Travel Day -- The Asian New Year
 |
| Over 3.45 billion trips were made in the PRC in 2013 during the Chinese New Year season |
In the PRC alone, during 2014's Chinese New Year season, the nation recorded over 3.6 billion travelers during a 16-day period. Of these, according to PRC Deputy Minister of Transport Feng Zhenglin, 44.07 million were made by air, 42 million by water, 266 million trips were by train and a staggering 3.26 billion trips made by car or bus. On a single day -- February 6, 2014, the heaviest travel date the 2014 season -- 266 million rail trips were recorded, the most in history.
This number has been steadily rising. In 2011, a mere 2.556 billion passenger trips took place. In 2012, there were 3.2 billion trips during the Chinese New Year and in 2013, there were 3.42 billion.
Last year, 2014, the Chinese government for the first time since 2007 did not included the eve of Chinese New Year as an official holiday. Because Chinese New Year Eve is a time of eating together as an extended family (a sort of parallel can be found in the USA's Thanksgiving), this has resulted in widespread dissatisfaction. A poll by China's Sina Weibo (the microblog firm that is a sort of Chinese counterpart to Twitter), nearly 89% of respondents indicated that they were unsatisfied with the decision not to include Chinese New Year Eve as an official holiday.
People return home over a greater spread, meaning that while the season actually ends after one week, return trips spread over the next 20-25 or so days.

In practical terms, this will mean that the travel crush will be even more compressed with one less travel day. The Chinese Ministry of Transport estimates that 3.2 billion of the trips will made by road this year, up slight from 3.1 billion in 2013. The road traffic annually clogs the traffic ways of the country and seriously affects the supply chain for business as well as demand for fuel, hotel space, and restaurants.
The Chinese Ministry of Transport estimates an increase in water transport as well. They estimate that there will be 43 million boat trips in 2014, an increase of 1.1% from 2013.
China will agaiin employ 900,000 buses over the period, averaging 80 million passengers a day. In addition to regularly scheduled trains and planes, a further 700 trains and 14,000 extra flights have been scheduled during the travel crush.

Year of the Monkey Postage Stamps
Issuing Lunar New Year commemorative postage stamps has become an annual tradition in many countries, and an entire philatelic tradition of collecting these special issues has a wide following both in and outside of Asia.
United States is a relative newcomer to the Lunar New Year stamps, with the Year of the Monkey stamp for 2016 the ninth that it has issued. This year's Year of the Monkey United States Postal Service stamp is a "Forever" stamp (to accommodate postal rate increases). The stamp features a small golden monkey in the upper left corner with a main design of peonies (for blessing and good fortune). As in past years, the artist collaborating on the stamp remain the same. The peony painting is once again the work of artist Kam Mak. The Year of the Monkey is acknowledged through a traditional Chinese paper-cut monkey by Chinese-American folk artist Clarence Lee and the character for monkey is done in grass-style by calligrapher Lau Bun. Both Lee and Bun's work have decorated all eight of the previous Lunar New Year USPS stamps).

Taiwan's Year of the Monkey stamps feature three denominations, each featuring a stylized monkey and peonies. The $12 stamp shows two monkeys, one hanging from its tails from a fan-bar reaching outside the frame of the stamp while the other holds a peach in its hand. In both, the monkeys scratch their head, symbolizing the sign's innate curiosity. The $13 features a curled-tailed monkey walking on all fours, while the $3.50 stamp features a monkey holding a peach in one hand while resting on the other.New Zealand has issued four Year of the Monkey stamps in different denominations. Its 80-cent stamp features the ancient Chinese pictogram for "monkey" from which the modern character evolved on a red background (as red is a main color used for the Lunar New Year). In a particularly intriguing touch of multiculturalism, the $1.40 stamp blends Maori and Chinese cultures as the central red monkey holding a peach is done in traditional Maori paper-cut. The $2.00 stamp likewise blends cultures, as the modern cartoon monkey is shown hanging from the a silver fern branch and its tail curls into the shape of a silver fern. In 2015, New Zealand ran a referendum on changing its flag, and the silver fern design was the initial winner for the design. Finally, the $2.50 stamp depicts New Zealand's Monkey Island, and features a barred godwit, which annually migrates between China and New Zealand.
