The Belize Tourism Board has offered a free trip to the cast of Breaking Bad, after the show referenced the Central American country in a rather unflattering way. Now, for those of you yet to catch up on Sunday night’s episode you may want to skip this next part. In the episode, Saul Goodman asks meth-manufacturer Walter White if he had thought about sending a nosey federal agent “on a trip to Belize,” reminding White of another agent who ‘relocated’ there (really White murdered said investigator). An agitated White then says: “I’ll send you to Belize.”The invitation from the Belize Tourism Board to the stars of “Some people may have perceived that to be somewhat of a crisis,” Alyssa Carnegie, the director of marketing and industry relations for the Belize Tourism Board, told the New York Times. “But we really thought of it as an opportunity.”An opportunity indeed. The Belize Tourism Board immediately sent the cast invitations to visit via Twitter. It then then took out a colourful ad – in the form of an invitation – via a blog the New York Times describing the activities the group could do should they visit.

In case @RjMitte / @RealWalterJr is wondering, popular Belizean breakfast dishes are meat pies and fry jacks. #breakingbad
