Just before midnight police were notified after he failed to return to his accommodation in Katoomba.
A preliminary search was conducted overnight and that search continues this morning involving officers from Blue Mountains Police Area Command, Police Rescue, PolAir, and SES.
Mr Lustina, who is a citizen of the Czech Republic, is believed to have limited cold weather clothing and supplies.
Police have concerns for his welfare due to cold weather overnight.
