Consequences + of + to / for
While learning some new words recently, I've come across the word "consequence" which has caused me some trouble. I understand the meaning of the word but linking it with other words is a bit problematic.
- I`m not sure if it could be followed by "of"
Negative consequences of fast-developing tourism...
- I don`t know if it should be followed by "for" or "to"
Negative consequences of fast-developing toursim for/to the enviroment and local societies
- Yes. Negative consequences of tourism are things that happen as a result of tourism, they are caused by tourism: overpriced restaurants, crowded beaches, pollution...
- for : "negative consequences for..." would indicate who is harmed or inconvenienced by the tourism: the locals, the environment
I can't think of any time I would use "consequences to"
