    You want to do both. Target the primary keyword on the homepage because its generally the most important page on a site.

    Both internal and home pages are important and need SEO for them and you can target both for different keywords.

    Ideally, you want to optimise the page that is most relevant for that query, so that when people are searching for "travel deals", they will get exactly what they expect on the page. If your home page has good links pointing to it then it can often be easier to rank it than to rank subpages, but don't ignore your subpages, because they can often rank in their own right if your on-page SEO is good and you point enough links at them.

    SEO optimization is important for both home page and internal pages. You can target your keywords according to internal pages also.

    I think - in your case - internal pages are better. You'll have much more keywords to target, which means you could get MUCH more visitors.

    You can use 5 primary keywords to target your home page and other 5 keywords for inner page.I think it will help you.

    Remember this... Pages get indexed not your site... In a whole your site does get indexed, but Google looks at pages..

    So yes, optimize all the pages you can.. Google will love you and know exaclty what each page is targeted for.

    I optimize every page for its main keywords. The results are well worth it. For example, last month the search engines sent 5,228 visitors to my home page. But the same search engines sent 65,650 visitors directly to my inner pages.

    That's twelve times the search engine traffic going to my inner pages compared to my home page, because I have optimized all inner pages for their own keywords.

    you should target your home page with primary keywords and inner pages with other keywords. home page is most improtant page for any website, but it doesn't means that inner pages are use less.

    Do seo for both home and inner pages, but use different meta tags for each and every page.
