Advantages of or to
I read the following sentence in one of articles that I've read. My question is that if I've written that sentence, I would have use "advantages of", instead of "advantages to". Please someone tell me is there any differences between both option.
There are advantages to being part of an organised tour group.

"to" is the idiomatic choice in that sentence. " where "of" is natural. I'm not sure that this difference is predictable from rules.
