FRIENDS and family members of a British tourist missing in Benidorm have launched an urgent appeal to find him over 24 hours after he was last seen.
Chris Holland, from the Washington area of Tyne and Wear (UK) was out with a group of pals in the main square when they became separated, says his friend David back home in Britain.
They have not seen him since 22.00hrs on Friday (May 29) and he did not return to his hotel in the Costa Blanca tourist resort town at the end of the night.
Chris was not carrying his mobile phone, and may have been under the influence of alcohol or unable to remember the name or location of his hotel, friends believe.
Hospitals within a 30-kilometre radius and police stations have been checked.
The name of the hotel he was staying at has not been revealed, but a photo of Chris and details of when he was last spotted have been posted on Facebook groups including Benidorm Sin City, Sinatra's Sports Bar and Benidorm Seriously.
Anyone who may have seen him or have information which could lead to his being found should contact the police.
