Consequences + of + to / for
1
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
prepositions to-for

- 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"

Thank you for your answer Sarah. Do you think it's gramatically and/or stylistically correct to use "Consequences" with both "OF" and "FOR" in one sentence? Like in the example I gave: "Negative consequences of fast-developing toursim for the enviroment and local societies" ? It sounds a little off to my ear but I can`t tell why

It is fine to use both. There are some examples on Linguee that use both linguee.com/english-german/…

I think you can also say consequences on the environment.

@Barmar consequences on the environment sounds very weird to this native speaker. To make it work it needs a specific context like a particular verb taking the position on, such as the teacher imposed several negative consequences on the students. But that's still rather odd.

In "Negative consequences of fast-developing toursim for the enviroment and local societies", it's consequences of and tourism for. So, consequences is not being used with for.

There is the legal usage:
"... such an appellant/applicant was entitled to a remedy in public law, which will prevent the decision of the administrator from having any adverse consequences on an applicant."
Should one use 'on' or 'for'? I tend to want to change 'having' to 'holding' and therefore say 'will prevent the decision ... from holding any adverse consequences for an applicant'.
