Yes, 'have attracted' is correct. In order for 'has' to work, you would need to say something like this:
Turkey is a/the country which has attracted a lot of tourists from 1980 to now. (but note that the meaning has been altered)
With 'has', your original sentence seems to tell us that 'Turkey is one of the countries in the world' (most people already know this),
Turkey is a/the country which has attracted a lot of tourists from 1980 to now. (but note that the meaning has been altered)
